Most of us are always on the move. We are overwhelmed by responsibilities and activities, and we sometimes even overlook the simplest human needs, like having a glass of water. How can we effectively manage our time to ensure we don't overlook even the smallest of details? Can modern technology help in this case? Think about using your smartwatch to keep things easy. In this post, we'll give you some tips on how to do it.

 
 

Get a smartwatch and say goodbye to forgetfulness

These days, the typical person bears a lot of responsibilities. Work, household chores, socialising, building relationships, etc. All this takes up a lot of time and energy. The more responsibilities we have, the more often we tend to forget things. What can you do about it? Get a smartwatch. When choosing a smartwatch, it's worth paying attention to whether it has several important features (in addition to sports modes) such as NFC, sleep monitoring, GPS, a heart rate monitor, a hydration indicator, alerts and notifications as well as a sedentary reminder.

Never miss an appointment again

While there’s a certain timeless charm to traditional calendars, they're slowly becoming relics of the past. With alerts, notifications, and alarms, becomes your dependable reminder for crucial events like doctor's appointments, business meetings, and your child's school performances. The cool thing about this is that you don't even have to remember to check your notes anymore – your smartwatch has got you covered, remembering everything for you. Certain watches, like the models released by Garmin, even come equipped with alerts that signal irregular heart rates. They remind users that it's a good idea to slow down for a moment, take a deep breath, and keep in mind that chronic stress isn't great for their bodies – it can really take a toll.

Stay hydrated with a personal reminder

More and more people are trying to live a healthy life. While we often keep in mind the importance of physical activity and maintaining a balanced diet, one crucial aspect that tends to slip our minds is proper hydration. Drinking enough water is frequently overlooked. Most people have not developed the habit of reaching for a drink regularly. We usually only remember when our throats feel like a desert. Our bodies consist of about 60 percent of water. Dehydration can result in issues like dizziness, headaches, heart disorders, and even vision problems. Not drinking enough water can also lead to problems like dry skin, cracked nails and hair loss. It's the reason why modern smartwatches come equipped with hydration monitoring features. We can also set an alert to remind us to drink the right amount of fluids. As a general guideline, especially in warm weather or during physical activities, an average intake of around 2.5 litres of fluids per day is recommended.

Move your body, not just your head

Many people lead sedentary lifestyles. We move very little, and even when we do, it is not while we are working. This is a serious mistake. Our muscles and spine tend to become tense, causing a notable decrease in our concentration levels and, as a result, our overall efficiency. In addition, staying in one position for too long can disrupt blood flow and lead to serious illnesses including heart attacks. That's where the smartwatch comes into play, equipped with a special function that tells you when to get up and move around. It doesn't have to be an intense workout; even a short walk or a couple of stretching exercises are enough. Going up and down stairs is also effective, as it activates both our muscles and blood circulation. Engaging in physical activity, even of a gentle nature, releases endorphins, leaving us refreshed with a renewed surge of energy when we return to our desks. You'll soon see for yourself that this watch feature can help keep a healthy habit.

Seize control of your time with a smartwatch

It is worth taking advantage of the benefits that technology offers. Talking about functions, these watches also come equipped with a heart rate monitor and a pedometer to help you take care of your health and fitness. By pairing your watch with your phone, you can not only read notifications but also make calls or send texts (availability varies with the watch model). Another useful feature is music control – it works well for running, cycling and driving. In addition, the built-in sports modes basically work like a personal trainer right there on your wrist. Nowadays, most payments can be made via a smartwatch. What about you? Which functions do you find yourself using the most?
