Re: Simple things that have made your life better or easier

i agree with the contacts...here in Florida and any place warm..no more fogging up...

paper clips and post its....boy do those both come in handy...

in my dorm room i find it easy to every Sunday..put 7 trash bags or layered x amount up...so i don't have to spend a few minutes every time opening a new trash bag every day to replace it... just a few minutes one day.. well it makes my life easier...
and instead of using the shoe rack that hangs down in my closet..(well i don't have that many shoes..I'm not a girl that loves to keep buying shoes)... i manage to put more odds and ends in there... like my safely glasses, blow dryer...and other random odds and ends...

Billfred is right...when you are stuck in a dorm room..you find ways to make more space for more important things... (i have to though thankful I'm lucky..I'm in a decent size dorm)

Re: Simple things that have made your life better or easier

Socks! that reminds me of another one:

Every six months or so buy a dozen pairs of socks, and get all the same kind, and the same color, and throw your old ones out

that way you never spend any time sorting them or matching up pairs, any two of the 24 socks you grab from your drawer are always a pair :^)

I've toyed with this exact scheme in the past. However, it seems like a waste to throw out perfectly good socks. (Not that I'm a packrat or anything--once they're worn through, they hit the round file.)

Expose on my Mac. Trust me, it's priceless for those who switch applications a lot. I set it up to be my top left and right corners of my screen.
