our lives are busy. we live in a busy time! if we’re not busy going somewhere, we are busy waiting on someone or we just ‘say’ we’re busy when in reality…we’re in our pajamas drinking coffee and watching mickey mouse clubhouse reruns 😉

today i’m sharing 5 things that have made my busy life, easier!

i’ve always struggled with two things…procrastination and prioritization. each on their own are hard to overcome…but together? you literally just put off getting things in order!!!

my tips will literally change your life!

1} grocery pickup!

if you’re anything like me, you love groceries…you just hate the process of having to go and get them. i get so sidetracked, can’t find what i’m looking for or i just get totally exhausted that we eat out after i get home from the trip! i’ve started to order my groceries online {walmart!!!} and then i go pick them up at a scheduled time! i drive 30 minutes to go get them, but that 30 minutes is golden for me. i listen to podcasts while my son watches a movie on the iPad. it’s a great “break” in my week 🙂

2} dry shampoo

this is pretty obvious. i like to shower at night to kind of relax and unwind from the day. i also like to go 2-3 days without washing and drying my hair…this is where the dry shampoo comes in handy! it also can add volume to your hair immediately after washing it 🙂 you’re welcome!

3} refillable k-cups

we drink a lot of coffee. like…all day everyday coffee drinkers. we went through so many k-cups it was ridiculous. so i bought a big pile of refillable k-cups on amazon and i wash and refill them every other day. it has saved me time in the morning too. i also will put a fresh cup beside the keurig before i go to bed, that way all i have to do is push a button in the morning and voila!

4} mophie case

i use my phone a lot…my battery dies pretty quick. i hated having to keep a charger with me, in the car, when i went to someone’s house, or even having to remember to charge it up right before leaving for the gym late at night. if i would charge it on airplane mode for 20 minutes, i’d get 30%! woohoo! but i found this phone case, a mophie case. when you charge your phone at night, it charges the case too. so when you’re battery starts to dwindle you just turn it on and it will give your phone a FULL charge without having to plug it up! this thing was life changing for me!

5} schedules

this one seems silly…but i schedule all of my social media and blog posts ahead of time! i’m writing this on a wednesday…so you’ll see it in 6 days 🙂 but you wouldn’t have known that if i didn’t tell you!

i like to just unplug sometimes..having scheduled posts makes that easier for me to do. i know that my main way of reaching my clients and potential clients, is always working…even when i am not!
