We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A tear-off planning pad so you can keep track of everything and anything important that pops up in your day. Yes, that 1:30 p.m. meeting needs to happen, but you also have to carve out some time to eat lunch, too!
2. Or a monthly subscription to Silk + Sonder, which sends you a brand-new planner at the start of every month so you can hit the refresh button and stay on top of all your tasks and appointments. It's especially great if you get overwhelmed by a year-long planner and just want to focus in on one month at a time.
3. A productivity time management tool if your to-do list is seriously overwhelming you and you need some help blocking off dedicated time to focus and get your task done.
4. A mini steamer to use if the shirt you want to wear today is covered in wrinkles. Now you don't have to lug out the iron and ironing board every time you need to de-wrinkle a piece of clothing.
5. A classy customizable dry erase calendar you can order with your family's name so everyone's schedule can live in one convenient (and pretty-to-look-at!) place.
6. *Or* this year-long dry-erase calendar if you're someone who likes to see every major date and event for the year at one glance. Many reviewers say it's great if you run a small business and need a visual tool to help keep everything running smoothly.
7. A meal plan pad — now you'll never hear the dreaded "what's for dinner?" question when you get home at the end of a long day again. This takes the stress out of meal planning by organizing your or your family's breakfasts, lunches, and dinners in one place.
8. An Echo Dot to basically act as your personal assistant — schedule meetings, set alarms, look up the weather, play your favorite playlist. It's harder to think of something this gadget doesn't do.
9. A pack of reusable grocery bags that fold down to about the size of your palm, which means you can always carry them with you in case of a last-minute shopping trip. No more fumbling with flimsy paper bags that end up falling apart and destroying all your ingredients for dinner!
10. Or a set of these four super-durable food shopping bags you can place upright in your shopping cart. Many reviewers use them to help organize their groceries by category to make unloading easier. For example, one bag will have all the frozen items, one will have fresh produce etc.
11. A Revlon hot air brush that dries and styles hair with just a few passes. It'll create bouncy, shiny hair in about a quarter of the time it would take with a traditional blow-dryer and round brush.
12. A moisture meter so you never have to wonder if you're watering your plants too much (or not enough!). It's especially helpful if you have a ton of plants that require different watering schedules.
13. And a set of bag handles if you're running low on time and want to carry all of your shopping bags from your car to your kitchen in just one trip. The handles distribute the weight evenly across your hands so your poor little pinky fingers won't feel like they're about to snap off.
14. A Zipuller for those busy mornings you keep trying to reach around your back to zip up your dress and it's just NOT happening. After using it the first time, you'll end up saying out loud, "Now why didn't I think of that?!"
Amazon
Just attach, step in, and zip!
Promising review: "I live alone so one of the biggest troubles I have is zipping up dresses by myself. I tried this product and it works great! I tried it with both small zippers and large zippers. As long as it can loop through the hole, the Zipuller can grip it. Plus, the grip is pretty sturdy and does not become loose when you pull it up. Never has this task been easier! I am so happy that I purchased it and I recommend that you do too!" —Cherie Weissman
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
15. A pre-designed habit tracker calendar if creating your own bullet journal templates is too intimidating, but you still want to keep track of your personal goals.
16. An alarm clock that mimics the sunrise to wake you up gradually and naturally. You won't be jarred awake by blaring sounds that'll start you off groggy and in a bad mood. Instead, you'll wake up on time, well-rested, and ready to take on your packed day.
17. A hanging closet organizer for a smart way to plan out your outfits for the week — just fold up all of the day's clothes in each shelf so you can just grab the stack and get dressed in the morning!
18. A handy device so you don't have to constantly ask your housemates if anyone's fed Fido yet today. You don't want your four-legged friend going hungry (or getting a tummy ache from too much food!)
19. A roll-on headache and migraine relief stick — many reviewers say it helps give them relief from migraine symptoms that can often stop them in their tracks and derail their day. Apply to your temples, forehead, and back of the neck at the first sign of a migraine.
20. An automatic shutoff safety outlet so you can stop worrying all day about whether you turned your curling iron off when you were rushing to get out the door. The peace of mind this smart device will give you is truly priceless.
21. A super convenient on-the-go meal container with a top compartment that keeps toppings or sides from getting soggy in the main container. It also has a spoon and a leak-proof seal, which means you can just throw this in your bag on the way out the door.
22. A cute and sturdy file folder great for busy students who have lots of papers to carry around. Organize your homework, notes, and worksheets by subject, and you'll be able to transport them to the library, a coffee shop, or to class.
23. Sally Hansen Insta-Dri nail polish for anyone who thinks they're way too busy to do their nails on a regular basis. This magical formula dries in about a minute! Which means you can get back to your to-do list in record time.
24. A portable charger if you're constantly on the go and your phone tends to die by midday. Now, if you notice your phone's at 3% in the middle of an important work call, you can just plug it into this. Crisis averted.
25. A set of makeup products you can customize to your shade and preferences. The products stack on top of each other, so now everything you need for your makeup routine can live in one convenient, travel-friendly tower. Genius!
26. A felt handbag insert because lots of us carry around our entire life in our bag and you probably need some better organization in that endless abyss. Now, you'll be able to know exactly where your keys, sunglasses, lip balm, or any other important items are whenever you glance into your purse.
27. A mini elliptical or bike pedaler if you can't seem to find time in the day to get any exercise in. These will help get your blood flowing even while you're still at your desk.
28. A Home Chef subscription for anyone who wants to cook at home more but doesn't really have the time or energy to come up with meal ideas and go grocery shopping. Reviewers love the easy instructions, variety of options available, and the quality of the food they receive.
29. An automatic stirrer so your food doesn't burn at the bottom of the pan as you're running around the kitchen doing a million tasks, like chopping veggies, answering the phone, or listening to your kid ask, "is dinner ready yet?" a million times.
30. An Instant Pot Duo Crisp if you're looking to invest in something that practically cooks dinner for you — yes, miracles do exist! This ridiculously handy 11-in-1 kitchen gadget does it all: it pressure cooks, sautés, steams, slow cooks, sous vides, warms, air fries, roasts, bakes, broil and dehydrates.
31. A magnetic key holder to prevent you from frantically trying to find your keys when you're already running 30 minutes late. Just place this by your front door so you can grab and go!
32. A 32-ounce hydration-tracking water bottle because when you have a busy day, making sure you drink enough water can be hard to do. By drinking two of these a day, you'll be better hydrated, which will help your energy levels and help you focus all day long.
33. A monthly budget planner to take the guesswork out of money management. Now you'll plan out how much of your paycheck will go toward necessities like food and rent, how much you'll save, and how much you can use to treat yourself to something nice.
34. An ingenious sandwich cutter and sealer with the ability to transform a regular PB&J into an exact replica of those Uncrustables sandwiches your kid loves. Making lunch just got much less stressful and a whole lot more fun.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "These have been a GAME-CHANGER in this house!! My son has always begged me for Uncrustables but my wallet didn’t agree with them. I LOVE being able to make them at home and customize them to exactly what they would like them filled with! I make two weeks' worth of sandwiches at a time and store them in sandwich bags in the freezer so in the morning during the school year we can just grab and go! Love them!" —Katherine Smaczniak

35. A set of superfine colorful pens if you're someone who likes to color-code your calendars or to-do lists. You'll love how smoothly these write!
36. A glass dry-erase desktop whiteboard so you're not going through endless pieces of paper for your to-do lists. Instead of jotting down random reminders on pieces of paper that will inevitably get lost, just break out your dry erase marker and write it on this handy whiteboard.
37. A Scrub Daddy — dishes are always going to be a pain in the butt for someone with a busy schedule, but this smiling dude helps make the chore much more manageable. This high-tech tool becomes a firm sponge under cold water and a soft scrubber under hot water. And it stays odor free for eight weeks, unlike traditional sponges.
If these sound familiar, it's because they've been featured on Shark Tank!
Promising review: "I don't have a dishwasher and have used so many products full of promise. THIS however, cleans better than anything I've ever used. Goes from scrubbing glass to pans with ease. Gets to the grease, lipstick, baked-on junk, all of it and so easy, no elbow grease required. Does not scratch and rinses clean without much effort. I'm a customer for life! I've used the pictured sponge (left) for three weeks and it's still going strong." —Denice

38. A long-lasting HyperChiller that can chill your hot coffee in less than 60 seconds (yes, you read that right!). It also works great for other beverages like tea, juice, or wine that you want to chill at a moment's notice. We love a time-efficient gadget!
39. A robot vacuum because anything that can do a chore for you is definitely worth the money. It's extra useful if you have a dog who sheds constantly and you can never keep up with all that fur.
40. A set of Lovoir winged eyeliner stamps if you have *checks watch* exactly five minutes to do your makeup before you have to leave for the day. This will save you from so much frustration and give you a flawless winged liner look in seconds!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Honestly, I wish I had thought of this. A stamp for the right eye and left eye on the end of liquid eyeliner pencil with a liner on the other side of each pencil. I always mess up the wing but these are perfect! Much more subtle from the front but just what I love." —Mona G
Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.97.

43. A 30-pack of hem bonding strips if carving out time to take your too-long pants to the tailor just isn't going to happen. This will bond your fabric super quickly, which means you don't even have to sew or iron your pants to hem them!
44. A versatile chop, slice, and dice unit because cutting up veggies is always the most time-consuming part of making dinner, and this handy gadget can chop up your ingredients in record time! Meal prep just got so much easier.
