There are a lot of things you use your phone for, but have you considered you can use it as a reminder? Using your phone camera makes remembering things a breeze. You’re at Disneyland and you’ve parked in some character’s colored section — take a snapshot of where you parked! Your meds keep changing — take a pic of your prescription bottles. Have you ever gotten to Costco for printer refills and forgotten the number? Just take a snap of the cartridges but make sure the numbers show. Below is a list of some of the more common uses for your camera phone courtesy of www.apartmenttherapy.com. One Caveat: if you’re going to add pictures of items with sensitive information, either blur out the sensitive info or make sure your phone has an encryption program.
Here are a few things that can easily be remembered with a quick snap of your camera phone’s shutter button:
• A reminder of where you parked. Parking in the city is no joke.
• Your printer cartridges. Make sure you can see the refill numbers.
• Your family members’ clothing sizes.
• The measurements of your air filter.
• Travel confirmation numbers. Take a screenshot of the email your airline sends you. When you check in later and need to find confirmation numbers, your photo album will be less cluttered than your inbox.
• Pictures of current medications. Make sure you can see the prescriptions’ names and dosages in the photo.
• The types of lightbulbs that fit your home fixtures.
• A recipe from a book or magazine that you want to use soon.
• Anything “borrowed” that you might want to buy later, like the brand of a smooth-writing pen at the bank or a great-smelling hotel shampoo.
• Expensive home furnishings you just know you can DIY at home. Get shots of all the important angles for when you’re ready to DIY.
