Tech Products You Should Have
Anyone who owns a smartphone knows it can run through a battery in less than a day with all the mobile applications and communication software.. So I carry a backup battery charger everywhere. The Digital Treasures ChargeIt Universal 3600mAh Power Bank is a great choice to consider and only $30 on Amazon. Cloud based storage is also a must to have in the digital age so that you will not lose any of those important files. And why risk it when cloud-based storage options are so widely available and cheap? One of the best bargains is Google Drive, which is free for the first 15 GB of storage and $1.99 per month ($23.88 per year) for up to 100GB. (You can also get 1TB for $9.99 per month or $119.88 per year.) You can use it to sync files between all of your devices and access your files from anywhere. Electric toothbrushes work better than manual ones. Not only does brushing with an electric toothbrush leave your teeth feeling cleaner, according to a report by The Cochrane Collaboration Oral Health Group, it also reduces plaque and the risk of contracting gingivitis, an early stage periodontal disease that affects 50 percent of adults.

Be More Productive
In this world, we need to figure out a way to work smarter and not harder. It is important to get the most out of your time so that there is a lot more time for the things you love. One of the best tips is to find the three most important things that need to get done, such as finishing that web development project, and do those first thing in the morning because otherwise you will get too busy and run out of time. As far as to-do lists go, it might help to write out everything that needs to be done the night before so that you can just jump right in in the morning. My most recent and favorite change to my to-do list has been separating my "today" list from a master list of everything I need to get done. I often feel anxious about all the things I know I need to do at some point -- I need to write them down somewhere so I don't forget them, otherwise I worry about when they'll get done. But I don't want these cluttering up my list for today. That will just make today seem busier than it is. The whole idea of working smarter, rather than harder, comes from the problem many of us have of putting in more and more hours, only to find we don't get more done. We want to find methods of being more productive in less time. One way to go about this is to adjust the way we measure productivity.
