5 useful things below PHP 500 that will make your life easier

Every day, we invest in different products to help make our lives easier. But these days, it seems like we have to pay more than usual for convenience. Luckily, there are still several items on the market that aim to improve our day-to-day living without breaking the bank. Here are five useful items to get your started: A planner or a wall calendar Online calendars are convenient, but they aren’t the best tools for everyone. Being organized is a skill that can be learned, and by far the best way to do so is by returning to written planners. Time management and productivity are problems that most of us struggle with. Forgotten appointments and late appearances are just a couple of things that happen when we don’t have an effective scheduling system. Though it takes time writing down appointments and weekly schedules, what you will end up with is a visually appealing notebook that you’ll constantly look at, whereas with an online calendar, you might just open it up when you receive (or hear) a notification at the very last minute. Plus, you remember things better when you write them down. Typing on a phone, tablet, or laptop is almost mindless to a point that appointments can easily slip your mind. Although physically writing out your planner can be tedious, there is a purpose and a greater benefit to it than its digital counterparts. Not a fan of notebooks? This write and wipe wall calendar might be more your style. A digital luggage grip scale Airports are notoriously known to be the most stressful part of travel. Some things like long lines at security and flight delays are beyond your control. One thing you can do though to ensure check-in goes smoothly is abiding by luggage restrictions. Extra kilos can really put a dent in your wallet. Purchase this digital luggage grip scale from Lazada so you don’t wait until check-in time before weighing your luggage. That way, you can redistribute or lighten your bags before you even head to the airport. Multivitamins As busy people, it’s hard to keep track of our vitamin and mineral intake, or eating balanced meals in general. We do our best to eat as many vegetables as we can, however on some days, we can’t help but resort to fast food. To compensate, take supplements like multivitamins. Taking one multivitamin tablet once a day will give you that extra energy boost to get you through the day, whether it’s gym day or you’ve got a deadline to meet. Although multivitamins range in price depending on the brand, there are lots of affordable options out there, catering to different demographics. A phone case wallet holder A wallet and phone can consume a lot of space in your tiny purse, and they can be a lot to carry when you’re just heading to the corner store. Make life easier by getting a 2-in-1 wallet and phone case so you can get rid of that unnecessary bulk in your purse, or eliminate the need for a bag and slip the necessities right in your pocket. Microinsurance plans You have insurance plans for your car, house, and life. While those may seem sufficient, there are microinsurance products out there that are helpful and beneficial for you. Other than being affordable, they also offer coverage for areas that you probably didn’t think you needed to cover. For example, the Cocogen Kasambahay Protect insures your household help with basic personal accident coverage for as low as Php 99, and it only costs a mere Php 129 to upgrade to Kasambahay Protect Plus that comes with additional benefits. Meanwhile, Cocogen COVID-19 Assist+ is here to protect you from financial distress should you or someone you love catch the COVID-19 virus. Find out more about Kasambahay Protect and COVID-19 Assist+ by calling the hotline 8830-6000 or sending an email to client_services@cocogen.com.
