Imagine a world where cleaning is no longer a time-consuming chore but a seamless part of your day, effortlessly handled by an ECOVACS robotic vacuum. Well folks, you can turn that dream into a reality! Say goodbye to the days of endless vacuuming and hello to a home that practically cleans itself, leaving you with more time for what really matters.
ECOVACS' new DEEBOT N20 PRO PLUS boasts an impressive array of class-leading features including 8,000Pa of precision suction power that automatically adjusts to different floor types, from hard floors to thick carpets, ensuring every corner of your home is spic and span.

2. Ask Airtasker
The rise of technology has monumentally changed the way we live, from the way we outsource services to how we connect with our community. Airtasker actually brings those two things together with an online marketplace of helpers just waiting to bid on your tasks - from the mundane to the monumental. It has evolved from being a place to find tradespeople like removalists, cleaners and picture hangers, to becoming a more holistic platform where Aussie parents can now hire ‘virtual fill-ins’ to entertain and educate their kids at home!
So if you don’t have enough hands or hours in the day to make your child’s Halloween costume, play with LEGO or stay on top of their school work, add it to the Airtasker virtual noticeboard. These days, you can outsource almost anything to make your life a little easier - and we’re all for it. After all, it takes a village.
3. Solve The Dinner Dilemma With Meal Kit Delivery
Imagine the relief of not having to worry about ‘what’s for dinner?’ day in, day out. The joy. The rapture. If you want healthy, home-cooked family meals, but the monotony and mayhem are taking their toll, one of the best things you can do to make life easier is to get meal kits delivered to your door.
Meal kit delivery literally removes a motherload of work, delivering a huge box full of fresh produce as if someone had just been to the food market for me, accompanied by a swag of easy recipe cards to follow.

4. Get Creative Solutions On Your Doorstep
Keeping kids entertained and engaged can be a daunting task at the best of times, not to mention the worst of times. As parents, the pressure to ensure their creativity is flowing, their little hands are busy, and the supplies are fully stocked is neverending! But, thankfully, we have a hack for that too.
You can get fun kid's craft and activity kits delivered. Packed full of everything they need to do a bunch of cool projects like bake superhero cupcakes, conduct a science experiment, make fluffy slime, go on a global adventure, do a pottery class or learn origami, there is a whole world of wonder you can get sent straight to your door so you can keep the kids happy without lifting a finger! You can even get subscription boxes delivered every month!
5. Find Some Zen With Meditation
Wouldn’t your life be easier if everyone just chilled out? Yes, it really would! Meditation has shed its airy-fairy aura and is now lauded as the beneficial life skill that it is. Teaching children to meditate can help cultivate inner calm and mindfulness that ripples into their everyday life - and yours.
Meditation for kids can regulate their body's reaction to stress (fewer tantrums) and contribute to an increased sense of wellness. Taking the time to relax and breathe can help children connect with their bodies and settle their nervous systems. Ongoing mediation practice can lead to reduced hyperactivity and lower anxiety, while also arming them with a valuable stress-busting tool for life.
Plus, there are loads of amazing resources out there to help parents introduce their children to meditation including videos, apps, books and podcasts. Technology can actually help!
6. Embrace Screen Time
Yes, we know that too much screen time can adversely affect children. The ensuing judgement on our tech-dependent parenting can be equally damaging. Raising kids on the digital superhighway is one of the most hotly contested topics among parents these days as we try to curb childhood screen addiction while balancing our own need for some downtime. But when it comes to healthy screen time for your kids, it’s all about quality, not quantity.
There are loads of beneficial ways they can chill out with their beloved devices while you take a break, like boosting their brainpower with online educational games, moving their bodies with the top online yoga classes for kids or building their bookworm status with online programs to help kids read. So pass them the iPad, hand over the headphones and cut yourself some slack!
With the launch of their extensive new range of home cleaning robotics, ECOVACS has a model for every family. With a commitment to innovation, cleaning performance and ease of use, ECOVACS is Leading The Way in intelligent robotic solutions that integrate into everyday life, delivering hands-free cleaning that will give you more time to do what you love. It's the ultimate life hack for making parent's lives easier!
