Let’s face it, we are a busy society. If we aren’t busy working, then we’re busy taking kids from school, to soccer, to dance, to…. oh you get the picture. Then add in all of the responsibilities of home life, and you’ve got one stressed mama!

I’ve found ways to help ease my stress load, and I honestly can’t live without them! If you find yourself wishing for ways to make life easier, I’ve got a great list of 7 productivity tools to share with you.

1 – Amazon Prime. For the cost of a nice dinner out, you can get Amazon Prime for an entire year. There are too many benefits to list here, but my favorites are free shipping, streaming video and music, Prime reading, and Amazon photos. Amazon has definitely spoiled me with their speedy shipping times. If you haven’t tried it yet, what are you waiting for!? It will absolutely pay for itself within the year.

2 – Chewy.com. If you have animals, then you’ll want to check out Chewy.com. They have an Autoship service that lets you schedule regular deliveries of your pet supplies, so you never run out of them. If you’re someone who has a large dog or cats, you know first-hand how exhausting dragging their food or litter around a store can be.  I feel beyond spoiled now to have these massive bags delivered to my door. There is no membership fee and you can cancel Autoship anytime. You can even get prescriptions for your fur baby through Chewy.com! It’s just one less thing to worry about as you go about your busy day.

3 – PowerSheets. If you’ve been following me for any amount of time, then you know how much I love PowerSheets by CultivateWhatMatters.com. I’ve tried a lot of different planners and I just love how these are colorful and fun and not stiff and boring like so many other planners out there. They are the BEST way to break down and uncover goals that matter to you. They help you create an action plan to live intentionally, without feeling overwhelmed. PowerSheets help you uncover what really matters to you so that you can take steps to make things happen. So, go out there, get your PowerSheets, and make things happen!

4 – Meal Services. Sometimes, the thought of trying to figure out what to cook for dinner can be exhausting. That’s why I’ve fallen in love with meal services. Some of my favorites are HelloFresh, Plated, and HomeChef. Each week, you’ll get meals delivered to your door with step-by-step prep directions. No need to make a meal plan, grocery list, or trip to the store. Just open the box and whip up a delicious meal in no time!

5 – Curbside Grocery Pickup. This was a game-changer for me. Most stores are now offering this service and it’s amazing. You just add your groceries to an online cart, someone else does the shopping for you, and then they deliver it right to your car! This is especially helpful to anyone who isn’t very mobile, or for mamas with little ones. My favorite places are Kroger, Walmart, Aldi, and Publix.

6 – Punkpost. What is it about getting a hand-written card in the mail? There is something so special and powerful about receiving a beautifully designed card in the mail. Unfortunately, technology and our busy lives have made those moments few and far between. That’s why Punkpost is so important to me. Punkpost allows you to order beautifully created cards and their handwriting artists fill in the cards with what you’ve told them to say and mail it off for you! You can order up to a year in advance or just give them 24 hours notice. They even have an app to make it even more convenient. Not only that, but you can add confetti (how fun!), gift certificates, batch sending, and automated ordering!

7 – Accomplish your Dreams. If you want to learn how to increase your productivity, then I highly suggest taking my 4-Day Accomplish your Dreams Free Training. This training will teach you the tools to confidently achieve your wildest dreams while feeling better than ever in the process. It will give you a foundation for learning how to create goals that matter to you and actually achieve them.

I hope some of these ideas help lighten your load so you can get back to doing what you love, like spending time with family, or some of that very special do you time.

Do you have things that help to make your life easier? I’d love to hear what they are!
