Who doesn't need life to be made a little bit easier? Below are 12 tips to do precisely that. Readers are invited to post their own life hacks below in comments.
1. Take a photo with your phone of where you park your car at the mall. That way, when you misplace the ticket you can at least show the nice security guard where your car is.
2. Take a cell photo of a list of all the medications used by relatives in your care. It's handy to have it in case of an emergency or when you take your mother to see a new doctor.
3. To get rid of your turkey neck in photos, photographers recommend that you stick your neck out and tuck your chin down.
4. To make your smile look bigger in photos, squint your eyes just a little.
5. Use nail polish to paint a colored dot on the end of your mom's keys to help her remember which one unlocks what. Green for front door; red for back door; etc.
6. Use a hanging shoe rack to store cleaning supplies inside the pantry door. It eliminates having to crawl under the sink to find the ones you use most frequently.
7. Can't hear the alarm clock? Set the alarm on your smartphone and put it in an empty glass near your bed. The sound will be amplified.
8. When a friend borrows a tool or book, snap a photo of them holding it so you'll remember later where it went.
9. Mark the side of your water bottle by hours so that you can keep track of what you've had to drink and will stay hydrated.
10. Take a photo of the inside of your refrigerator to help you remember what you need at the grocery store.
11. Use the clasps of an old skirt hanger to keep your cords from tangling and being tripped over.
12. When you downsize your house, consider buying a well-made foldout cot instead of a pullout sofa. Your guests will thank you.
13. Use two-sided tape on area rugs to keep them in place.
