According to a survey by ComPsych, a management services company, 41% of people lose between 15 and 30 minutes of productivity time a day just from stress. So let these Amazon Alexa hacks help you plan, get organized and be more productive.
- Set timers while getting ready - Always running late for work in the morning? Use Alexa’s timers to help make sure you’re not taking too long to get ready. Just say,"Alexa, set a timer for 20 minutes,” and you’ll stay on track.
- Keep track of your schedule - Know what your day involves without having to pick up your phone by asking something like, "Alexa, what's on my calendar today?" or “Alexa, when is my next meeting?”
- Create reminders throughout your day - Afraid you’re going to miss an appointment or an important call you need to make? Set a reminder by saying, “Alexa, remind me to call Robert at 3 p.m.” and she’ll alert you.
- Make to-do lists - Stay organized without pulling out a pen and paper to write a list by saying something like, “Alexa, put “exercise on my to-do list." I also make a shopping list!
- Check your email on the go - Ask, “Alexa, do I have emails from Cynthia?” and your device will read the emails out loud and you can even verbally respond to them.
Sure these are 5 little steps but they could make a big impact in your life like they do in mine!
