Tiny life hacks I'm proud of
Apr. 28th, 2016 01:24 pmBought online a cheap pack of 100 plastic key fobs. If you want a spare key ring, there's plenty, and if you want to label some keys (a rarely used key, a spare for a friend, a spare key you're giving TO a friend) it's so much less likely to be lost if you can write a short name on the key fob, or just recognise the plastic fob.
Putting contact details (my email address and liv's phone number) on my mobile's lock screen. Not paid off yet, but a good idea.
Make sure you have SOME spare key nearby, at work, or at a friend's house. It's true, that can fail to save you if you can't access it, but 90% of the time, it will reduce a minor crisis to insignificance.
If you temporarily box up some stuff, or shovel some unsorted post into a bag to deal with later, or put some clothes aside to give-away/grow-into/shrink-into, put in a piece of A4 saying what it is. When you find it again, that will usually let you know whether you want to use it, keep it, or throw it out, immediately without needing to sort through it.
Tie one of your corkscrew/bottle-opener to something fixed so it doesn't wander off round the living room in a party -- having one you can always find is really handy.
