It's no secret that time is the great equalizer. How you spend it says volumes about you! But we get it; prioritizing what can be daunting, especially for a busy woman. That's where the Efficiency Bitch, Daily Action Plan steps in! This isn't just a planner; it's a game changer. It's not about scheduling your life; your phone calendar can handle that. This is about focusing on your daily tasks, tackling them head-on, and ticking off that list easily.
Hey there, welcome back to the Efficiency Bitch podcast! Today, we're diving into a hot topic: kids and cell phones. But we're not just talking about handing them over and crossing your fingers. No, no, we're all about using these gadgets to supercharge efficiency.So, here's the scoop: I gave my 10 and 12-year-old daughters cell phones, but with a twist. When they were younger, I started them off with Gizmo watches for safety and easy communication. As they got older, I handed them smartphones, but stripped away the social media and cellular service. Instead, it was all about efficiency and productivity.First up, I customized their home screens with essential widgets like calendars and weather forecasts. No more hunting for info - it's right there. I added school apps and parental controls to keep them on the right websites. Plus, I set up individual email addresses and synced their calendars with mine. Boom, instant time management skills.But wait, there's more! We tapped into the power of alarms. These tiny reminders work wonders for important tasks like wearing an ID or retainers. And guess what? These little tricks can help teenagers get organized and super efficient.But here's the real kicker: we adults often underuse our phones' potential. Take my brother-in-law, for example. He uses alarms to remember to take his vitamins. So, it's time for all of us to unlock our phones' true efficiency potential.If you've got some killer phone efficiency tips or stories, hit me up!
