Take It Easy with these Time-Saving and Stress-Free Living Tips

Spending more time at home doesn’t mean that life is now less hectic. In fact, many people experience having to juggle more tasks than before. On top of this, even simple things like planning your family’s next meal can be quite tedious in today’s new normal set-up. The key is finding that perfect balance and maximizing the time for each activity to manage your daily routine well.

Here are some simple tips to take it easy and keep life stress-free:

Make a to-do list and prioritize tasks

Take stock of your daily activities and break them down into more manageable chunks. Note which items on your list are time-sensitive and need to be tackled first, then move down the line as your day progresses. Nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment after crossing them off after a long day. Having an organized to-do list helps you manage your tasks well so you can spend more quality time with your loved ones.

Maximize available technology

There are many innovative technologies that are designed to make life easier, from robot vacuums to online apps that help you save time. Having said that, planning your next meal shouldn’t be too time-consuming and stressful. If you’re out for errands or heading home from work, simply use the Order & Pick Up feature on the Jollibee App so you can skip waiting in line and get your favorites whenever, wherever.

Set (and respect) boundaries

Working online from home may often be misinterpreted as being accessible 24/7. Make sure that you have a healthy dialogue with your boss and colleagues to determine ideal work scenarios for the team. To address burnout, it’s best to set acceptable boundaries such as maximizing the usual office breaks and logging off at a reasonable time. This will allow you to have time for family, do some relaxing activities, or to pursue your hobbies.

Take time to breathe

The start of the pandemic had everyone adjusting to a new routine. But now that people have settled down, they can focus on their overall well-being. So, if you feel overwhelmed, take a much-needed break. Savor a snack, play a short online game, or maybe take a power nap if need be, so you can bounce back energized and more focused.

Of course, having delicious meals at the table never fails to cheer one up. Whether you enjoy it alone or with trusted company, having your favorite food can always fuel you to work better, productively.

Luckily, treating yourself and your family is now made easier with the Jollibee App’s new Order & Pick Up feature! Order ahead of time and pick up your Jollibee favorites at the counter or drive-thru window, or even request curbside pick-up from the friendly crew.

It only takes three easy steps: select store, select pick up time and date, and then order your meal. There’s no waiting time involved as the order is prepared and packed by the time you get to the store.

Bring joy at home hassle-free with Jollibee’s newest Order & Pick Up feature available on the Jollibee App and the Jollibee Delivery website. Download the Jollibee App on the Google Play Store or the App Store and start enjoying the joy of convenience.

‘Order & Pick Up’ through the Jollibee App is as easy as 1 2 3. Just select the store near you, choose your preferred pick-up time and date, and then order your favorite meal.

 

Jollibee curbside service. Safety and convenience come first in the ‘Order & Pick Up’ feature of the Jollibee App. You can wait in your car for your Jollibee favorites!

THE BRICKYARD BY LIL’S HOBBY CENTER HEADS NORTH

QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES (August 24, 2019) — Following the acclaimed launch of the Tamiya Dyipne and huge success of the Tamiya Asia Challenge 2019, The Brickyard by Lil’s Hobby Center finally opened its doors at Ayala Malls Vertis North last July 29. Since then, hobbyists and enthusiasts from the northern areas of Metro Manila have been more than welcomed to build and race with other members of their amazing community.

The Brickyard by Lil’s Hobby Center at Ayala Malls Vertis North is the second branch to open since it started in 2018, at Glorietta 2. Since then, the company continually brings its community closer by providing a platform of their own, to create, connect, and complete. This is in line with the company’s goal to not only sustain but also expand the popularity of the hobbies as an enjoyable and educational activity for all generations and walks of life.

“We continue to study feasible areas and locations where we both feel that there are a good audience and good amenities. We want the Brickyard to continue to be the destination of choice for any enthusiasts looking to feel comfortable while enjoying the hobby experience.” The Brickyard owner, Ferdie Kahn, claims.

Together with the new branch is the launch of the Mini 4WD Philippine Cup. The aforementioned competition will be composed of a series of races around the country, started at Circuit Makati last August 24 to 25. The winners of the Mini 4WD Philippine Cup will not only be crowned as the Philippine champions but will also represent the country during the 2020 Asia Challenge in Taiwan.

Kahn, shares: “we will be trying to reach places that we know Mini 4WD has a following. We will not only race in Metro Manila, but we will attempt to race in several other cities outside of Metro Manila. We will go to Tacloban and Cavite. We are working on scheduling on Baguio. Then we end the season with a championship race to crown the Philippine champions. This will be challenging and exciting.”

The Brickyard wishes to expand in the coming year. The company is targeting its next center to be outside Metro Manila. Currently, however, The Brickyard by Lil’s Hobby Center is located on the 3rd floor of Glorietta 2 and the 2nd floor of Ayala Malls Vertis North Building 4.

Lil’s Hobby Center, Philippines’ distributor of mini 4WD as well as scale models of over 50 years, is located on the 3rd floor of Glorietta 2, the Basement level of SM Megamall Building A, 15 West Drive, Barangay Kapitolyo, Pasig City; and Ayala Malls Vertis North.

THE BRICKYARD MEMBERSHIP

Together with the launch of its second branch, The Brickyard is also introducing its official THE BRICKYARD MEMBERSHIP, which costs PHP 200.00 only and can be availed at any shops. The membership system grants cardholders nifty benefits, such as the following:

DISCOUNTED RACE REGISTRATION: members will get at least PHP100.00-off of registration fees for all Philippine Cup leg races.
