What really happens when you take a tech break

When you take a break from using technology, you give yourself the opportunity to reset. It becomes more than just a break from the tech but a chance to do something more with your time, whether that’s to read a book you’ve not picked up in months to seeing friends and making it a no-phone social experience.

Taking tech breaks are important and something you want to do more of where possible. It can make a big difference to how you feel in yourself and how you enjoy more of the world around you when you’re not hooked to your phone.

We live life through our senses, but let’s be real—our eyes are the true MVPs. They’re with us from that first morning scroll to those late-night Netflix binges. 👀✨

Are you struggling to get a good night's sleep? You're not alone. In fact, it's estimated that around half of British adults and a third of American adults grapple with the challenge of getting enough good-quality sleep each night to feel rejuvenated and revitalised the next day. A survey from Mental Health UK found that one in five adults isn't getting enough sleep at all.

Poor sleep can profoundly affect your life, disrupting your ability to function properly every day. It affects your hunger signals, digestion, cognitive performance, and energy levels. By finding ways to improve your sleep quality, you can lead a healthier, happier life.

Sleep Routine

Establishing a sleep routine is one of the most effective ways to signal to your body that it's time for bed. Whether you incorporate specific activities to ease into your nighttime routine or maintain a consistent bedtime and wake-up time, the power is in your hands.

An e-commerce business can be started from home, thus allowing stay-at-home moms to balance their family commitments while fulfilling entrepreneurial goals. Setting up an online business has never been easier in today's digital landscape, and this enables moms to make some money while staying with their kids. An e-commerce company, however, would demand some proper planning, time management, and resources for its initiation. The following tips will get you started:

Choose the Right Product or Service

The heart and soul of any e-commerce business are found in the product or service provided. To choose the right product, one takes into consideration one's skills, passion for doing it, and the market demand. It might be a hand-crafted craft, homeware, or simply an offer of virtual services; it has to meet a particular need in the market. Also highly relevant is in-depth research about your target audience and competition that secures your product's differential edge. The product should be scalable, not too costly to produce or source, and have long-term growth potential.

Develop a Professional Webshop

The webshop is at the forefront of your business, and as such, it should be user-friendly, responsive, and customer-centric. Building a website may sound like a daunting task for a person with limited technical knowledge, but there are many options available for stay-at-home moms. For instance, you can hire a reputable company such as Cartizz to develop a professional e-commerce site. Specialists working on your webshop means SEO optimization, smooth user experience, and integration of the most necessary tools: from payment to inventory management and customer support.

Annually, life offers us a canvas upon which to paint our aspirations, dreams, and responsibilities. Certain activities, when performed on a yearly basis, can enrich our lives, promote growth, and ensure holistic well-being. Here are some essential practices to consider incorporating into your annual routine:

Financial Assessment

Regularly assessing your financial health is paramount for stability and future planning. Review income, expenses, savings, and investments annually. Adjust budgets and financial goals to ensure stability and effective planning for the future.

Declutter and Organize

Allocating time to declutter and organize your living and work areas is essential for promoting mental clarity, reducing stress, and enhancing productivity. Clearing physical clutter creates an environment conducive to focus and creativity, leading to improved overall well-being and efficiency in both personal and professional endeavors.

We’ve been conditioned to believe that love is something that finds you. Then the reality hits and you realise that it won’t find you and that you need to do the work. Doing the work refers to taking the right steps to increase your chances of meeting new people and recognising those you are compatible with.

Enjoy being single first

If you want to find love, you need to enjoy your singlehood first. It’s all about the mindset and the energy. When you are desperate, you will be perceived as desperate, and it’s the ick factor. On the other hand, when you find joy in your life, just as it is, you will have a different energy - one people will love to be surrounded with.

Know your non-negotiables

The next tip on your pursuit of love is knowing your non-negotiables. For example, if you are looking for a single man or a woman to date, that excludes people in committed relationships. Or, if you strongly desire to be a parent one day, don’t date people who don’t want children.

Finding love in 2023 and beyond takes more than just what we see in the movies. Yes, some people still find love worthy of a Hollywood movie script just like that. Some struggle and go through repeated dating patterns. Then, we have the third group, people who recently became single, where should they start? In this article, we’ll explore tips that will make it easier to take the right steps to find love and find joy in love.

Don’t be desperate

When you act out of desperation, your story can go two ways. In the first possible outcome, you won’t find what you want as people will perceive you as too desperate or eager. No one likes that, not even you, if you are open to admitting it. In the second outcome, you’ll lower your standards out of desperation and perceived societal pressures, so you’ll choose wrong. This only leads to desperation, disappointment and emotional hurt.

Understand your needs

You don’t have to have it all figured out to want love - you can be a work in progress. However, you need to understand your needs, your non-negotiables, like having financial harmony in a relationship, and what you can compromise on. When you figure all this out, you will show yourself as a whole person, not someone looking for their other half to complete them.
