Time-Saving Hacks for Busy People

One of my favorite time-saving hacks is using a multi-purpose makeup product that has multiple uses, such as bronzer, blush, and highlighter. This saves me so much time because I don't have to grab a million different products to put on and then put away. With this one product, I can achieve a natural everyday look or create a more dramatic eye look for special occasions. Not only does it save me time, but it also helps reduce clutter in my makeup bag.

Another way I save time is by using pre-made smoothies. If you haven't tried this yet, you should! You simply prepare your ingredients, such as frozen banana, blueberries, spinach, flaxseed powder, and protein powder, and then add a liquid to create a quick and nutritious drink. It's ready in just 2 minutes, making it the perfect breakfast solution. I alternate between two recipes that are both delicious and have minimal prep time involved.

I've also been doing some multitasking while on calls or meetings by walking. My ring alerted me to my critically low activity levels, so I'm trying to get at least 6,000 steps a day. To fit this into my busy schedule, I walk while on the phone and even have a little at-home walking pad for when the weather doesn't permit. This not only gets me moving but also allows me to stay productive during calls.

To further save time, I use the "Eat the Frog" method. This involves tackling your most important and difficult task first thing in the morning, when you have the most brain power and energy. I use a planner that helps me structure my day and prioritize tasks, making it easier to focus on what's truly important.

One of the biggest time-sucking habits for me is checking my phone constantly. To combat this, I've put my phone away upstairs and downloaded an app called Screens End that limits my screen time. I also set a timer for 10-minute intervals during which I focus on work, making it easier to stay on task.

Another way I save time is by outsourcing tasks that take up too much of my energy and attention. One such task was laundry, which was constantly piling up with young kids in the household. To avoid feeling overwhelmed, I've started outsourcing my laundry to a service that picks it up and returns clean clothes. This has saved me hours each week, and while it may not be worth it for everyone, it's definitely been a game-changer for me.

Finally, I've discovered the power of speed cleaning with my family. We set a timer for 10 minutes after dinner, and during that time, we quickly tidy up the house together. Not only does this get our home clean in no time, but it also teaches my kids important life skills like responsibility and teamwork. It's not always easy to find time to clean, but with this simple hack, I've been able to make a bigger impact on our household's tidiness.

In conclusion, these are just a few of the time-saving hacks that have made a significant difference in my daily routine. By implementing these strategies, you can also start saving more time and energy for the things that matter most to you.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello and welcome back to my channel so do you ever just feel like there's just not enough time in the day this is how I used to feel all the time so these are my tips and tricks and little hacks that I do to save me hours a day and I know that sounds dramatic so as I'm talking I'm going to put my little counter clock in the corner to calculate how much time each of these tips individually save and we're going to add it up at the end I'm going to estimate like two to three hours a day let's get started with are time-saving life hacks these first few actually start the night before the first being sleeping with my hair in robe tie curls you guys this saves me so much time if I were to wake up every morning and curl and style my hair that would take about 20 minutes instead it takes me about 2 minutes to rot my hair in my robe tie curls and I wake up with the most gorgeous Victoria Secret model curls no heat no damage to my hair it's comfortable to sleep on and it looks like I styled my hair it's actually funny cuz I go to early morning Pilates and I've had multiple people be like Britney how do you have time to style your hair before class and I'm like girl you need to start doing the rope tie curls so I either will do the rope tie curls if I want more of a curled look or the other way I do it is I wrap one section of my hair on the top of my head in a bun with a satin hair type and then the rest in the base of my neck in a bun and a satin hair tie and this gives looser waves now today my hair is straight because I just got it done that's pretty much the only time I wear it straight otherwise you see me in my rope tie curl the next tip is for getting my kids out the door because that was not only the most time sucking but also the most stressful part of my day so now I make it a point I get their alits their shoes their lunch their backpack all packed ready to go and in little piles and it's ready to go so I'm not scrambling frazzled running around the house trying to find each individual thing so you can either do the piles or if you want to take it up to to the next level they now make these day of the week outfit planners so you can have their outfits for the entire week ready to go so the next thing I do the night before is my new little nighttime sleeping ritual that helps me fall asleep faster so every night at 8:00 p.m. I make myself a cup of my beam dream sleep cocktail so this tastes like hot chocolate but it has all of these different ingredients that help you not only fall asleep faster but sleep better big thank you to beam for sponsoring this portion of the video so my problem used to be I could get into bed but I couldn't fall asleep like my mind is racing I'm just tossing and turning and not only that I wear this like sleep tracking ring and I was getting a critically low amount of deep sleep and since I started taking this I could actually see the data that I'm falling asleep on average now in 20 minutes and I'm getting more deep sleep so it has all the different ingredients that are shown to help with quality of sleep in One supplement that tastes like hot chocolate like yes such a smart concept I've tried all the flavors let me just say chocolate raspberry is the best it tastes just like hot chocolate there's no weird aftertaste so this is like the elite sleep cocktail okay so it has magnesium you guys know how much I love magnesium alanine melatonin Rishi and CBD all inone and they even did a clinical double blind Placebo controlled study and in that study it showed 93% of people people who had this before sleep slept better and improved their quality of sleep so I love a brand that does the research and frankly if you were to take each of these on their own it would be so incredibly expensive so I love that it's all together and if you want to try it you can get it for 50% off that's such an insane deal so I would pause this video go pick it up try it for 50% off see if you love it as much as I do and again chocolate raspberry flavor I do it with half hot water half milk and I add a little whipped cream on top and and it's like a dessert it tastes so good and I'm asleep so fast drink this and instead of watching TV my next tip is read a book yes I always tell you this but try it the combination of this and reading versus doing something stimulating like being on your phone or watching TV you will be out like I am asleep almost too fast to the point that I'm not getting enough reading done cuz I'm falling asleep next thing cuz at night we're putting our phone away so at 8:30 I put my phone in the other room set your alarm and put it in the other room what this will do is it will save you time if you're a snoozer if you have a hard time waking up in the morning like it used to take me so long to get out of bed like I was snoozing three four five times like as much as I possibly could if you put the alarm in another room a really loud annoying alarm sound okay it forces you to wake up you get right up as a chronic reformed snoozer that saves me 30 minutes a day that's how long I would be like dreading resisting waking up now for getting ready I can be fully ready in 10 minutes and here's how I already talked about my hair is styled I just pull out my rope tie curler or my hair ties my hair looks like I just spent 20 minutes on it it's done then for getting ready I do these lash extensions DIY lash extensions I put them on Sunday I wear them for the entire week so this saves me time having to mess with mascara that used to take me at least 5 minutes of my getting ready cuz you curl the lashes do one coat do another coat so that saves me about 5 minutes a day the next thing I use this little palette that has everything in one so it saves me time having to grab a million different makeup products to put on and then also put away so it has the bronzer blush and highlight but I also use this as my everyday eyeshadow and as my Contour so I just have to grab one thing do a little this do a little that to save time for breakfast I pretty much will eat one of two things both of them are pre-made so my pre-made smoothies if you have not tried this yet you guys pre-make your smoothies I do half a frozen banana my frozen blueberry spinach flax seed powder protein powder have that ready to go in a little baggie dump it in the blender add your liquid and you are good to go in like 2 minutes or I'll do my overnight oatmeal this is my favorite overnight oatmeal recipe I'll usually alternate between these too they're so tasty and there's little to know prep involved another thing I've been doing that in my mind saves time because I'm multitasking I'm doing two things that would each take 20 minutes at the same time and that is I now make a point if I'm ever on a meeting or a phone call or whatever it may be I'm also walking because another thing that my ring alerted me to was I had critically low activity like it was very sedentary so I'm trying to do at least 6,000 steps a day but where do I find the time I don't want to do that usually I'm on at least one call a day even if it's just a call to a friend or a business meeting so I'm walking as I'm talking and I even got this little at home walking pad so if the weather doesn't permit I'm walking on my little walking pad I'm on the phone it's nice and quiet so no one can even hear it and I'm multitasking next thing I do to save time is what is called eat the Frog it's just a memorable way to think about doing your most important most difficult task of the day first and I use this planner it's like an ADHD planner and the way that's is set up really helps me structure my day so what you do is you put your three most important tasks of the right here at the top do those first especially the number one most important you want to tackle those earliest when you have the most brain power the most energy eat the Frog first this next thing I do is probably the single biggest thing I do to save time because the biggest time suck is this right here my kryptonite so I have a new thing that I'm doing I put my phone physically away upstairs it's not even near me when I am focusing and getting my work done keep your phone away because otherwise when you get bored or you get an alert you check your phone and then you get sucked into it and you end up wasting so much time I also have this special app it's called screens end so I'm only allowed to check my apps a certain amount of time a day for a certain amount of time then it will lock me out have my phone away in the morning time when I get my most important work done and then in the afternoon I have it nearby but I have the screen Zen on there so it prevents me from really getting sucked in and wasting too much time another big F in the household is we do a family speed clean and the catch here is I don't let my kids watch TV until they have help me with their chores and their speed cleaning so after dinner we all do a 10-minute speed clean I set the timer setting a timer you're able to get so much done so much faster now this one may be controversial may not be for everyone but for me this has saved me hours hours and hours a week I have started Outsourcing my laundry I was just constantly over welmed with laundry I would get it done and by the time I get it done there's already a huge new pile with young kids you just have constant laundry so I now Outsource my laundry and look for me it's worth it it might not be worth it for everyone the other option here is to negotiate with your kids to do the laundry teach them how to do it give them whatever incentive so look into Outsourcing your most timec consuming or dreaded tasks and in some cases it really is worth the cost just depending on your situation and what you value so with all that said those are the things that save me let's see the actual clock on average every day and also don't forget if you want to try the beam dream definitely go for the chocolate raspberry flavor you can get 50% off that is a huge discount code I will have it linked down in the description box if you want to try it thank you as always so much for watching and I will see you soon with a new videohello and welcome back to my channel so do you ever just feel like there's just
