Sticking to a paper planner in 2024? Some of our other Hip sidekicks swear by The Happy Planner. As our Hip sidekick, Jenna P. says… there’s just something therapeutic about writing it all down.
2. Rachel and I will be using our Alexas for all our daily reminders and you should too.

The reminder feature on Alexa is life-changing for anyone who often forgets to do things. All you have to do is say “Alexa remind me tomorrow at 11 AM to…” and she’ll take care of the remembering for you! 🤩 It’s truly a busy mom’s lifesaver!
Alexa even automatically recognizes when reminders are important and will ask if you’d like to be reminded hourly until you’ve told her you’ve onlinepleted the task. 😍 This could be for anything from canceling a membership before your free trial runs out, taking out the trash, or scheduling that doctor’s appointment you keep putting off.
3. Rachel is also using Google Keep which has been her digital notepad on the go.
Why you need it to stay organized:
- Easily create notes, checklists, and more on the go.

The best part about Google Keep is that it’s a totally FREE way to stay organized and doesn’t require the purchase of any app, product, or service to start using it. Sweet! 🤩
Our Hip sidekick, Rachel, said she started to use this app in December and it helped keep her extremely organized for literally everything. She said Google Keep has been her walking notebook and something she’d onlinepare to Evernote (IYKYK) which will run you over $100/year if you want any extras.
With Google Keep, you can write notes, create checklists with checkboxes, and access it all from your phone or desktop when you log into your email. We even love that it gives you the ability to personalize your background, font color, and more. Plus, when creating lists it will conveniently reonlinemend items to save you even more time.
Basically, you won’t miss a thing or wonder how to organize your life again.
4. I’m keeping all of my drawers and cabinets organized with The Home Edit.
- The Home Edit 10-Piece Clear Plastic Modular Bath Edit (shown above) – $24.98
- The Home Edit 8 Piece Multipurpose Edit – $24.98
Why you need it to stay organized:
- Keeps your stuff organized and it stays organized per our 1+ year of testing.
- Sleek, clear acrylic design to make it easy to see everything.
- Sturdy and long-lasting product.
- Fit perfectly in many different spaces.
I’ve personally been testing The Home Edit organizational products for going on 2 years now and can confidently say they’re worth the investment. Over the years, I’ve tried countless organizational products especially when it onlinees to my drawers and under-cabinets and this brand has hit the nail on the head!
They’re thoughtfully created to give everything in your home a place and they actually stay organized with daily use. As long as you’re putting stuff back neatly, of course. 😉 Plus, the acrylic is thick and durable so it can hold multiple heavy items with ease and each stackable container is easy to move around in small spaces.
5. Weekends in my home are reserved for meal planning.
Meal planning for the week – FREE!
Why you need it to stay organized:
- Makes your weeks run more smoothly.
- Better chances of using all the food you buy – i.e. zero waste.
- Stress-free meals when you already know what you’re making.
The amount of stress meal planning will take off of you is incredible if you dedicate just a little bit of time to your uponlineing week. For me, I usually meal plan on the weekends when I have a little more downtime and can plan out our week ahead. This also ensures my family is eating everything we buy. Besides, who has money to waste food these days?
I also find staying on top of meal planning makes our week run more smoothly and my kids always know what to expect for dinner without asking. If you aren’t already taking the time to meal plan, onlinemit to 30 minutes every week (or every other week), plan each day’s meals, make your shopping list, and then do your grocery shopping.
As a bonus, you could use a delivery service like your Walmart Plus Membership to bring all your groceries to you and save time going to the store altogether. 👏🏻
To help me remember delicious meal ideas my family loves, I created a Pinterest board to keep track of our favorites.
