Well did you know that renting an apartment can increase your productivity, focus and help create a more comfortable and easy-going lifestyle? It’s true!

Watching the Clothes Go ‘Round
Time Saved: 2 to 3 hours
Ah, washing and drying your clothes…a necessary evil. Who would’ve thought by simply renting an apartment you could almost eliminate the need for lengthy travel and wasted time? Here’s what you do; while looking for your next apartment ask the leasing agent if the units are equipped with washers and dryers? If not, ask them if there is a laundry pavilion (or something similar) on the grounds of the community. A short walk across the apartment complex to a fully functional laundry pavilion sure beats packing-up and driving cross town doesn’t it? Here’s another productivity tip; when using a community laundry facility simply put your clothes in the wash and head back to your apartment and get some other housekeeping chores crossed off your list. Just be sure you set a timer on your phone so you’re back in time to move your laundry from one machine to another. This will make you a stellar apartment renter and a friend to your entire community.
