GOOD ADVICE FOR HOT SHOWER LOVERS

I love hot showers. And I can't bring my watch into the shower lest I should spoil it, so I lose track of time. Fortunately, there is some advice on the Net for people like me:

If you lose track of time in the shower, bring a radio into the bathroom and time yourself by how many songs play while you're in there. Try to get your shower time down to one song (or less).

That is, one only average song, three or four minutes, should be played in the background. No Genesis or other groups with epic songs (and don't even think of Bach!) Just pop or Sabaton or Rammstein.

There are also shower timers, but acquiring one in Spain must be rather tricky. Could an ordinary timer, set on four minutes, do the trick?

Waiting for the cold water to warm up is a waste of time and water. Yet I don't like it cold. I want to steel myself, but cold H2O is sooooooooooo uncomfortable! Maybe I could use some vodka or warm tea to drink after leaping into the shower when it's already cold...

I should also have my hair cut, so it takes less time to rinse (and less time to dry afterwards). A pixie cut or crew cut may do the trick.

I've used an egg timer before and that's cut my shower time down to 15 minutes. I don't use one now because I live with other people and they'll hear it go off and wonder. I have an iPod, which I have a protective see-thru case for, and I put a playlist on play, and then put the window thing in clock view. Then I hang it on the shower curtain. That helps me keep some track of time, especially how much time has elapsed (I can be really bad about that). The leave-in conditioner is a good idea, I'll have to buy some. I lather my hair with shampoo twice because, I believe it's a habit from middle school when I was going through puberty and my hair was greasy. I'd read in some magazine that if you wash your hair twice, the first time cleans it while the second gives it more body. I guess nowadays it wouldn't make a difference if I only shampooed it once, huh. LOL

I had to learn to take fast showers.
Because there are other people here who also need the hot water and to use the shower.
I hung a clock in the bathroom that I can see through the glass shower doors.
Keeping an eye on the clock.
I get done in 5 mintues Hair washed ,rinsed and body washed.

If a clock in the room or a timer doesn't work.
Try a shower radio.
Get out of the shower by the end of the 3rd song.

Cut your hair short ~ Takes less time to clean

Get a timer and set it for 5 minutes.. see how much you accomplish in that time. If it doens't work set it to 10 minutes or something. A timer is much easier then looking at your watch or something. Plus its irritating when it goes off.

I have my top five favorite songs on a playlist and blast them while I shower. When the playlist stops (about 15 minutes) then I know to get out. Most of my friends do this too and it works for them as well :)

You can set a timer for like 15 minutes and when it goes off get out of the shower.

• Set a timer. This may feel silly at first, but people tend to lose track of time in showers or baths. So setting yourself a five- or 10-minute timer can alert you to just how much time you really are spending under the water.

 I put together a music playlist that was about 12 minutes long (about four songs) and used that as cues when I’m in the shower. When the song switched I would start to hurry up a little more. After a few days I realized I was finished in the shower before the four songs were done! So I decreased my shower time to a playlist of three songs for a few days. Now, I’m down to only two songs which is seven minutes!

Or you could set a timer and when it goes off so does the water, whether or not your inner creature feels perfectly comfortable yet.

Find it! Shower timers

A simple egg timer with a buzzer set on the bathroom counter would certainly do the trick, but if you want a shower timing specialist, these options are fun and functional (i.e. waterproof). Once you’ve bought one, get to cutting that shower time. Start by figuring out how long you actually take on average, and when you've got a baseline, decrease the time you’re in there by 30 seconds every week. Your goal? Get your time down to five minutes or less.

• Crank some tunes: Having a hard time shaking off that morning sleepiness? Try putting on some tunes to get you moving. Even better, pick a song that’s five minutes or less—when it’s over, so is your shower. 
• I pick my favourite song, start is as I'm about to get into the shower, groove to the tunes while showering, and then get out when the song is over.  I have found this to be the most effective way to limit my shower time.
