I eliminated that step and don't wear shoes.

I hibernate my laptop so it pops up in ~30 seconds and use that in class for notes. I can type faster than I can write and I don't have to try and decipher my handwriting. Going back over and spell checking makes an easy and effective study tool. I use wordpad because Word has too much bloat and takes too long to load.

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

A curling iron is just right for putting a crease in pants legs.

I have a couple of extra alarm clocks that I set to remind myself to do certain things, such as taking pills and vitamins.

And one simple thing that has made my life so much better is the heated mattress pad on the bed. One side of the bed can be turned on but not the other, which is perfect when one person is always cold and the other is always hot. And an extra bonus is that it divides the bed perfectly in half, which ends all of the battles of who's on whose side. Best invention ever!

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

i found an abrasive impregnated brush that fits into my cordless drill/driver at the local hardware store. i believe that it is intended to remove old paint, but with the proper cleaning solution, it'll do a number on anything from dishes to bathrooms (obviously, i use a separate one for these two applications). not only does it cut my cleaning time in half, but i've found that housework is more fun with power tools.

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

Break away key chain. Ok on my key ring i have this little keychain that breaks apart when the ends are pushed together but only when they are pushed together so it won't break on accident. I have my keyless entry pad on that break away so I can leave my vehicle running and lock the doors while i am say waiting for the vehicle to warm up. That has been a great help.
