17 Lazy Success Hacks I Wanna Gate Keep SO BAD
But I Won't :)
I am currently juggling two companies, a relationship, a cat, and everything else a normal 25-year-old deals with.
There’s a lot I can’t slack on, so when I am able to hack some of the simple stuff, while looking put together as heck, I take advantage.
Here are all of my hacks that I use to look like I have my shit together (even when I don’t):
Schedule send = productivity mirage.
Forgot to follow up?
Schedule text & emails past 5pm, schedule for 8am. Looks like you’re on it early without changing your routine.
Always wear a matching set.
You look put together even if you rolled out of bed in 30 seconds. You don’t even need to turn your brain on for this.
Voice memo journaling.
Talk to your phone for 2 minutes instead of forcing yourself to write — clears your head instantly.
Apple Calendar = life manager.
Put literally everything in there (workouts, skincare, friend dates). You’ll look like you “have it all together” without remembering a thing.
Color-coded calendar = instant credibility.
Work, personal, gym, social different colors.
People assume you’re highly organized.
The 3-outfit rule.
Pre-plan three go-to outfits that make you feel powerful.
Rotate them. Nobody notices, you just look effortlessly polished.
The ⅔ rule.
Two of these always need to be on point: outfit, makeup or hair.
People will look at you differently when you ALWAYS show up put together.
Buy duplicates of basics.
Same white tee, same black bodysuit, same nude heels.
Zero decision fatigue, less laundry loads between wears.
Pretty water bottle = personality.
Having a water bottle nearby keeps you accountable for staying hydrated.
When even the little things you have are cute, people notice you.
One signature meal.
Learn to make one dish really well.
Impresses friends and family, and makes meal prepping super simple and enjoyable.
Use ChatGPT for everything.
Emails, captions, even DMs. Looks thoughtful, takes 30 seconds.
Morning reset = iced coffee + walk.
Skip the gym if you’re lazy (but don’t do this daily).
This does the job for your mental health and aesthetic.
The 10-minute tidy.
Set a timer before bed, toss things in baskets.
The house looks clean, you did basically nothing.
Default makeup routine.
One lip gloss, one concealer, one brow gel.
Done in 4 minutes, people ask what products you use.
Be the calendar friend.
Just create the group plans, even if you don’t do the work.
You look like a leader, everyone’s grateful.
Voice-to-text.
Send “typed” emails on the go.
You sound productive while literally walking to get coffee.
Default drink order.
One latte or cocktail you always ask for.
Makes you seem decisive, people assume you know who you are.
The moral of the story is that people notice your behaviors, your appearance, and your actions. Naturally, they make assumptions about you.
You don’t need to overcomplicate things to make people believe you are “on it” 24/7.
You can be detail oriented and thoughtful without tons of effort.
