9 ESSENTIAL GADGETS THAT COULD
CHANGE YOUR LIFE

by Robbie Imes, 6 min read

Change is inevitable, and one of the few things in life that’s guaranteed. Change for the better, though, is something to look forward to and can bring more balance to our lives. Balance creates harmony, and with it, a greater sense of accomplishment. One of the forces behind change is technology, which can have positive effects for generations to come. 

Technology allows for efficiency in organizing both our work schedule and our leisure time and reduces the stress of having to manage everything all at once. There are millions of gadgets and applications to choose from to help achieve a sense of balance.  

Here are our nine top picks to help you in balancing your professional and personal lives:

Apple AirPods Pro with MagSafe

State-of-the-art earbuds with cordless charging? Bring it on. First, let's talk business. When you're on a call and you need to drown the world out, Apple AirPods Pro can do just that. With AirPods Pro's two microphones and outward-facing mic with inward-facing mic design, you have second-to-none noise cancellation. For play time, you can use them to listen to podcasts, music, movies or whatever else you’d like.

The Google Nest Learning Thermostat follows the temperatures you set and creates a custom schedule for you. It automatically lowers the temperature after you leave home to help you save on heating costs. And you can control it from anywhere using your smart devices.

The Skylight Calendar

 

Digital calendars are great, but they often live on our smart devices. Once we have access to a device, we can access the calendar app and then find what we are looking for. Grab your glasses, otherwise it's time to squint. The Skylight Calendar – a WiFi-connected digital display for everything in your life - is an eye and time saver. The 18-inch touch screen displays your schedule, and even your photos, with beautiful clarity. It’s also perfectly-sized for walls and desks.

This allows for seemless wireless charging that makes life, well, better.

C by GE Cync Tunable White Two Pack Smart Bulbs

Gifting a New Phone 

How can someone else's phone make your life better? Glad you asked. Sometimes just giving a gift can change one's life. From parents needing an upgrade to kids and their first phones, you can share the gift of communication in so many ways. There are so many great discounts available that you can be generous without breaking the bank. Or, you can hand down a used device and set up a new account for someone at your local AT&T store or by phone.

Keep yourself and the whole family organized in a fun way. Designed with Afifi Ishak for Metaproject, this 12 sticky-sided ball has tear-off sticky memos in a multitude of colors.
