    Just 31 Quick And Efficient Things That Will Save You Loads Of Time

    It's time to retire the phrase "so much to do, so little time."

    1. A wireless tracker so you're never hours late because you misplaced a super important item again. The set comes with a transmitter that has a built-in flashlight and four color-coded receivers — just apply the receivers to any item like your phone, glasses, or keys. If you misplace it, press the color on the transmitter that you attached to the missing item, then follow the beep.
