That's pretty convenient.

### Using shorthand properties

An easy way to reduce file size and saving overall time and effort is by using shorthand properties.

Instead of doing this:

```css
.class {
margin-top: 20px;
margin-right: 15px;
margin-bottom: 25px;
margin-left: 5px;
}

```

Do this:

```css
.class {
margin: 20px 15px 25px 5px;
}

```

How neat is that?
