Getting it All Done: Multitasking 2.0 // MamaChallenge

Too busy to get it all done? Need an assistant or maybe three? Actually all you need is a computer or a smartphone. We call it multitasking 2.0 and it’s the new way to getting it all done.

Some links included in this post contain affiliate links.

Only have an hour to go grocery shopping, get ready for your big work event, and feed the kids before the sitter get here? Then remember you need a birthday gift for your kiddo’s friend at school and you still haven’t gotten anyone to feed the dog before you go out of town for the long weekend?

All in a day’s work for a parent and that was before 10 am…

Thankfully technology to the rescue with several new web-based services that make it easy to get whatever you need done with just a few clicks.

Getting it All Done: Multitasking 2.0

FOOD FAST AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

Door Dash // Have food delivered from your favorite place delivered where you want.

I’ve used this one no less than 15 times in the last month. It’s an app/computer accessible site that allows you to order food from great places around you and delivery it to your door. It’s all paid via your account so no issues with tipping or paying, the app shows you exactly what time when to expect the delivery, how much it costs and from your favorite places (not just a few major chains!) I can get ChickFilA at my door, no sitting in line, for just $7.50 (yes, the costs are more than reasonable and totally up front.

Amazon Prime // Basically Amazon Prime was almost what started it all…immediate gratification of whatever you want, when you want (or at least with 2-day shipping. And now with Amazon Prime Now (and just this week with the debut of Amazon Fresh with fresh produce and local food), we can go on to the app on your phone and get things delivery in just an hour. It’s an amazing service with a flat rate so if you order often it’s worth its weight in gold.

Sign up: It’s free for the first month, so use and abuse your Amazon Prime and see why it’s that amazing (30 days free with this link)

Amazon Family // Also through Amazon, parents with babies can sign up with Amazon Moms to have basic necessities like diapers, wipes, formula, etc. sent on regular schedule and at special discounted cost. No more trips to the grocery store to pick up all the stuff in one cart with the baby in the other.
