How to Have Energy On The Go

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #MyDayWithEnergy #CollectiveBias

There are not enough hours in the day. There, I said it. The old cliché still definitely rings true.

I’m currently writing this post in a doughnut shop at 11:30 at night. Why, you ask? Well I worked a full day but got home late to find out a tree had fallen on our power line from a storm. We haven’t had power in who knows how long. I still had to take my photos for the post, so I had to feng shui my apartment so the natural light left was next to a table. Then, I had to scarf down dinner and pray we had power again by the time I got back. Spoiler alert: we didn’t, so I packed everything back up and headed out to the 24 hour doughnut shop.

I can’t make this stuff up.

This is my life every day. Maybe not the tree on the power line, but it is always something. I work a full-time job in an office over an hour away from my house. I spend an average of three hours a day in the car, and I never work a typical 9-5; it’s always more. I care more about this blog than almost anything else, so I devote a chunk of time when I get home to working on new content, responding to comments, planning my editorial calendar, and catching up on emails. Plus, at some point I like to see my husband, friends and family and cuddle my fur-babies. In my spare time, I thought it would be fun to edit a book. Literally, my mom and I have a book coming out in 2018. Oh, and next month Stephen and I are moving to a house.

Am I crazy? Yes, I am totally and completely insane. How do I do it? Well, today, I’m going to let you in on my secrets. Here’s are 5 tips on how to have enough energy and maintain your busy schedule.

Keep moving. If I stop, I nap and then nothing gets done. I’m a fidgeter at my desk. I shake my legs, get up and walk around, literally anything to keep me moving and awake.

Perfect the art of multitasking. I mentioned earlier that I spend an average of three hours a day in the car. I schedule ALL my phone calls during those commuting hours. That gives me time to finish up any calls from the day, catch up with my friends, call my mom, etc. I am always talking to someone in the car. If I don’t have a phone call, I’m outlining blog posts in my head or thinking about a brand I want to pitch. I am never just zoned out driving.

Prioritize. I’m not perfect and I sure as heck can’t do it all. I’ve really had to learn how to prioritize. This week, I had to take a sick day, and I thought all hell was going to break loose. It didn’t, but I really had to prioritize my to do list. Unfortunately, my house is never clean because I always bump it to the bottom of the list, but keep deadlines and family near the top. I like to number my list and always make sure I complete the top 5 that day.

Make sleep a priority. While I do have a full schedule, I hardly ever sacrifice sleep. I would say “never,” but since I already admitted I started this post at 11:30, I would be a hypocrite. I need 8 hours of sleep or I am too cranky to be around, so I really strive to make sleep a serious priority and try to get a full night every night.

Drink Your Energy. I drink Emergen-C® Energy+. This new product from Emergen-C is a powder-packed formula with natural caffeine from green tea to focus your mind*; calcium, magnesium, potassium and other key nutrients to help replenish your body*; plus 7 B vitamins to fortify you and vitamin C for immune support.*

 

It’s perfect for a woman on the go. It come in portable packets that easily stash in even the smallest clutch. Just by adding water, you create a refreshing, fizzy drink mix. Plus, you can personalize your energy with one packet or two. I am a two packet kind of girl, but it’s totally up to you.

With this drink on my side, I can survive meetings, conference calls, spreadsheets, you name it. Plus, it’s tasty! I have the Blueberry-Acai flavor, but it also comes in Lemon-Lime and Mango-Peach.

Have you tried Emergen-C® Energy+? I highly recommend you visit your local Walgreens and pick up a box.

    I am the same way if I nap my whole day is gone. I napped yesterday and got nothing done!

    I have heard of these but haven’t tried them, things are so busy this fall that I might have to pick some up! By the way, your dress is beautiful!

    I have serious energy deficiency due to some health issues, and I would never be able to keep up with your schedule! I might try that product to see if it helps me. One thing that alarmed me about your tips was what you said about taking all your phone calls while you’re commuting … I hope that means you have a hands-free device so you’re not driving distracted! I would hate to hear you have become another statistic! 🙁

    My energy has been lacking lately and it’s probably because I’m not sleeping enough but I think I need to go look for this and give it a try!
