Life Hacks

Phone case via

Now that I stepped up my phone game (new iPhone user over here!) I’ve welcomed a whole new app world. Some of them have really streamlined my schedule, so I’m sharing a few of my favorites to help you find a few extra hours in your days.

1. Instacart – Instacart lets you grocery shop from wherever you are (your desk, your bed…no judgement). You choose the grocery store you want to shop and scroll through everything on their shelves. An InstaCart employees shops for you, calls you if there are issues and delivers the groceries to your door in an hour or  more, depending on the time of day.
2. Rent the Runway – Never run from store to store again to find the perfect dress for an event. Browse Rent the Runway’s designer collections, see how the dresses fit on real women and order a dress to arrive within days before a big event. (Read a full review.)
3. Snapseed – I use Snapseed to edit photos for Instagram, save them and then upload later at optimal times. This way, I can edit when I have downtime and barely have to take time off later to upload.
4. Sleepbot – I know a lot of people have their favorite sleep apps, and mine is Sleepbot. It has a “smart alarm” (wakes you up in accordance to your natural rhythms), monitors motion and records noise. This helps me pinpoint trends in my days that lead to good night sleeps.
