I am trying to schedule my weekly errands so that I can accomplish them with fewer outings. I sometimes use MapQuest or another mapping site to efficiently plan my stops so that I am traveling the most efficient route. MapQuest allows me to ask for directions using the shortest distance instead of the shortest amount of time and to add stops to my route. As a result of this scheduling, I have changed my regular route to the the drug store, decided to use a different bank branch that is near the drug store, and am going to a library branch and grocery store that is in the same neighborhood.
