RANDOM but USEFUL things I have picked along the way! And when I discover something LIFE-CHANGING, I love to SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!
(SIFTR, help me make it a thing! LOL!)
Tips and Tricks that Just May Improve Your Life
Document it (somewhere!)
You THINK you will REMEMBER, but in reality, you probably won’t. I recently discovered GOOGLE KEEP, it is like POST-it Notes on your computer and it SYNCS to your PHONE! No more forgetting your grocery list … and IT IS FREE!
Oh and your children’s art projects and other stuff you are SAVING for POSTERITY, put a DATE including the YEAR and GRADE… and if you have more than one kid, their NAME. TRUST me… I type from EXPERIENCE!
Get warm quickly in bed…
As someone who used to lay shivering in bed for what seemed like FOREVER, I needed a way to warm up QUICKLY! Out of shear dumb luck, I happened to throw a throw blanket over my head and upper body and VOILÀ, I warmed up in record time! LIFE CHANGING! Oh, and some cozy, fuzzy socks help too!
This may sound silly if you always knew this trick, I clearly did not. I only discovered it several years ago! So this is for you all that didn’t know, now you know! (I’m channeling my inner Lin-Manuel Miranda!)
PS: Blankets also make great gifts! Who doesn’t want a soft, warm gift that feels like a hug?
Add your BRAND and PHOTO to ZOOM (and such)
Why not make it easier for people to FIND and RECOGNIZE you? It’s easy!
Sign into ZOOM, Edit Profile, Add info to Display name, SAVE!
Click on Place for Profile Pic, select a pic (jpg/jpeg, gif or png), upload, SAVE!
Mismatched Coffee Cups and Glasses
While I don’t need matchy-matchy, I usually want everything to COORDINATE to the extreme of buying extras just in case. This is the EXCEPTION! One of my least favorite things is accidentally DRINKING out of someone else’s cup. Go ahead and buy the FUN MUG or GLASS!
Program the Coffee Pot…
Go ahead, just do it. It is GLORIOUS to wake up to HOT COFFEE! That is all.
