(StatePoint) If you are like most people, you could use more hours to get things done. But while the day isn\u2019t getting any longer, there are plenty of ways to supercharge your routine and boost productivity, say lifestyle experts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a busy full-time working mom so anything that requires too much effort and time will not fly with me,\u201d says Janise Burrafato, the \u201cMama in Heels\u201d blogger, who recently participated in the #MyWalgreensApp campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cMobile apps keep me organized and ahead of schedule, and believe it or not, having just one less task to tackle really does make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are a few ways to make life easier from the palm of your hand.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Make shopping simple:<\/strong> You can ignore all those coupon mailers that arrive at home. Drop the scissors and spend some time with your family instead. Now you can virtually and quickly \u201cclip\u201d coupons through mobile apps like the Walgreens mobile app. You can use the app when you shop in-store to access your coupons, which can be seamlessly applied at checkout when you use your Balance Rewards card, and pay for items directly from your smartphone.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sync calendars:<\/strong> Get the entire family up-to-speed on upcoming events, commitments and projects. A synced calendar system can alleviate anxiety and ensure everyone knows who is where, when.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Permanent records:<\/strong> Making family memories last is easier than ever. Create prints, photo cards, wood panels and other personalized photo products by ordering these items through the Walgreens mobile app<\/a> directly from Facebook, Instagram or your smartphone.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo more fussing with trying to print photos myself, which rarely works,\u201d says Seri Kertzner blogger at \u201cLittle Miss Party Planner.\u201d \u201cThis app saves me time and money!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 Stay fit:<\/strong> When juggling work responsibilities with family life, it\u2019s easy to forget your own health and wellness. Schedule time to work out and stick to these commitments as you would any other appointment.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s helpful if you have an app that tracks your progress and offers friendly reminders to hit the gym. Many fitness apps sync with other programs to offer you discounts on other products and services when you meet benchmarks.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Automate:<\/strong> Automating certain to-do\u2019s can free your time and energy for other more creative tasks. For example, these days, you can program apps to make automatic payments on credit card balances and utility bills.<\/p>\n

Likewise, refilling prescriptions is no longer a matter of waiting on hold or in line at the store. Now you can do it with the touch of a button your phone. For more information or to download the app, visit the Walgreens website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe right apps on your phone can be almost like having a personal assistant,\u201d says Burrafato.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get overwhelmed. These days, there are high-tech tools to help you strategically plan your day and organize your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
