Who else is raising kids, working a 9-5, creating other streams of income, managing personal and professional relationships, and still trying to fit in selfcare routines? Even if you don’t have kids, life is still A LOT.
Here are some tech gadgets that double as useful life hacks:
This list is good for women OR men. Let’s get the 2 big ones out of the way first…
Smartphone - Whether you are team iPhone or team Android, smartphones have really shaped our way of living. There is not much you cannot do with these things.
Laptop - This one is a no brainer, everyone I know carries a laptop or similar. I am usually never more that 10ft away from my laptop. Business is 24/7.
Tablet - I carry a tablet for several reasons. When I travel, I can pull out my tablet and stream movies or shows. When I am working out of the office, I use my tablet as a second screen. Lastly, I have my car mount that holds my tablet right below my dashboard and I can use it for a backup navigation or other media features.
Folding Portable Bluetooth Keyboard - (See image) This little thing is lightweight and very useful! especially if I am solely using my tablet to work.
Folding Portable Stand - The tablet cases are only at table level when you adjust it to hold up your tablet. I purchased a portable stand for when I use the tablet as a second screen.
Portable charging pack or charging cords - I always have charging accessories in my backpack with my laptop. For the cords, I also have the small adapters for mini usb and c-type connections, just incase I need to switch out charging different devices that don’t have the same ports.
Earbuds - I rarely use earbuds because many times I use text to communicate, but I have a new fond appreciation for these little things when I need to block out the noise around me. I am not an Apple user, so I found some wireless earbuds on Amazon. They have touch sensor controls and have great sound quality.
Smartwatch - I traditionally love the classic analog wristwatch, but smartwatches keep me updated and informed with incoming calls, emails, and text messages when I am not right next to my phone. *Plus if you are using the earbuds, you can answer without running to your phone. So for my day to day, I opt for a smartwatch for work and switch back to my classic watch when I step out. There are a lot of fashionable styles for these watches, I had a few gold Fossil watches, but this time around I went for a more toned down and simple look with the gold mesh band, square face watch.
Wireless Charging Dock - I am slowly transitioning to wireless charging for all my small devices. It cuts out the cords and you can purchase one that fits your phone, smartwatch, and earbuds.
Carry All Backpack - All the above may seem like a lot, but most of these items are no larger than your hand, so a good sturdy backpack or tote bag makes it easy to carry all your gadgets with you.
