    48 Products That’ll Make Excellent Use Of Your Time

    If you've got these products and just a few minutes, you can get a lot done — including those little things you mayyy be putting off.

    1. A Shiatsu shoulder massager you can use to relax overworked muscles after hunching over a computer all day. Just 20 minutes with this on your shoulders will make a surprising difference. Plus, it has an optional heat setting for even more pain relief.

    2. A cleaning putty to easily (and kind of fun-ly!) clean your car air conditioner vents, laptop keyboard, cupholders, remote buttons, and any other tricky little areas where dust and crumbs accumulate when you have a few spare moments.
