Mornings are hard enough for everyday people, but as a mom, you know the horrors that mornings can entail all too well. The baby kept you up all night so forgot to set your alarm, then your three-year-old wakes up with the stomach flu, and now you can’t remember which after-school activities your oldest child needs to be dropped off at today. And although the chaos seems to never end, there are some things to help your mornings go a little smoother. Let’s take a look at the three ways you can use technology to your advantage to actually make you look forward to your mornings.
Use Your Smartphone to Stay Organized
First and foremost, you know staying (or at least trying to be) organized is one of the ways to keep your cool as a mom. Setting alarms and reminders, making checklists and to-do lists and checking your emails on the go is going to help when your plate starts to stack up. Smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge are perfect for busy moms who want to keep themselves, and everyone else in their family, organized. And on those days when you only have time for take-out and but of course you forgot wallet at home — the Galaxy S7 comes conveniently equipped with
Android and Samsung Pay. So not only will it keep you on your A game it’s virtually kid-proof too with water and dust resistance that repels all of those accidental kiddie spills and occasional airplane dives into the toilet. It’s definitely a must-have for moms on the go.
Wake Up With Motivational Music and Podcasts
Getting up in the morning is rough especially after a long night or a long day ahead of you. The snooze button, screaming kids, and a giant to-do list will make you want to hide under the covers all day. There’s an answer for that: music. Studies have shown that listening to music releases dopamine and arouses feelings of euphoria. So listening to music upon waking up is sure to boost your mood and set the tone for your busy day. Music streaming services like Spotify have the compatibility to pair with a number of Bluetooth speakers like the Amazon Echo and Google Home so that you can set your alarm clock to Spotify’s “wake-up” or “morning mood” playlists to get you going in the morning.
Keep Track of Your Valuables
Another challenge that moms know all too well are trying to keep track of your belongings. To combat this, the Tile Mate Bluetooth tracker was invented to help keep track of all of your valuables for you. Each tile can be placed on your keys, remote control, wallet, purse, car, etc. and when something goes missing, you simply open the app and have the tile ring or vibrate or check the map for its last known location. So those mornings when you’re in a hurry to get the kids to school but you can’t find your car keys, this Bluetooth tracker will point you to their exact location — which, let’s be honest, is most likely in your kid’s toy bin.
These three types of technology will keep you and your kids organized and help make your morning routines easier and much more predictable. With these gadgets by your side, you’ll be able to conquer any task that comes your way.
