Life can get so stressful at times so why not reduce the amount with simple life hacks. Who wouldn’t want more time! Instead of trying to combine everything you need to do into your 24-hour day, try reclaiming your time. Why? Because it is a huge stress reliever to be able to take your time to do things and carve out time for yourself.
The benefits of having apps for basically everything is that there are many resources out there at our fingertips. Yes, there are ways you reduce your daily stress with simple apps. Let’s dive in and take a look at a few that are out there and how they can help you achieve life stress-free.
Prescription & Supplement Delivery
The next time you or a loved one is feeling unwell, avoid leaving the house and get yourself your over-the-counter essentials delivered right to your door. This will save you so much time from driving to and from the store and allows your body to truly rest.
Especially if you are a stay-at-home parent or a single parent or someone who is living alone, you will want to avoid having to leave the house as much as possible. Not only to protect others from exposing them to your cold but to be able to focus on taking care of yourself at home. Plenty of rest is needed.

Meals & Cooking Delivery
Even the designated chef at home gets tired of cooking at times. Finding the motivation or even the inspiration to cook all the time can feel like a chore, whether you need to do this to feed your family or just yourself. One of the things you can do is save your money and time is following awesome recipes and using the food you already have.
However, you can always get yourself some cool meal delivery boxes to ease the stress of figuring what you want to eat each day.

Grocery Delivery
Let’s talk about grocery shopping. I know that standing in lines or going to the grocery store is not everyone’s favourite. Therefore, when grocery delivery services opened up, I had to jump at the chance of making my life a little easier. Who is with me! If you haven’t tried one yet, you should especially on really busy days. They not only do the shopping for you but drop it off at your door. All you have to do is put your groceries away.

Online Shopping Delivery
Of course, we cannot forget about online shopping for your favourite items and clothing. When I think about the last time I was at the mall, well it has been a long time since I rather get things delivered right to my door. No waiting in lines or getting ignored by customer service employees. Phew!
These days, most stores give you the option to have your items delivered or you can arrange to get it pickup. I don’t need to tell you what stores offer this, however, I bet we can agree that Amazon is the most convenient.
What I do want to do is remind you to sign up for Rakuten (formally known as Ebates) if you haven’t already. Why? Because you get paid each time you order something. They have 750 stores that we are always shopping at like Sephora, Indigo and Old Navy so why not make some money while you are spending it. Plus, you get $5.00 just for joining! Easy money!
Final Thoughts
See you don’t have to leave your house unless you really have to! These home delivery services range from food deliveries, take-out deliveries, prescriptions, and groceries. This not only makes your life so much easier but stress-free. I know that just using one home delivery service in each category can do wonders to save you time in your life.
