Photo Reminders for Your Smartphone
• 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.

- great ideas, I also like keeping a dry erase or chalk board in the kitchen to write down stuff you are out of when you realize it, then instead of transcribing just take a picture.
- car tags and a photo of the car. Even in the VIN if you can get a good shot of it, which is not easy to do. Also pets and their vet tags.
- I shoot my mileage plus, car rental, and other perk program cards with membership numbers. Also our company conference call # and pass codes, as it can be easy to forget my moderator code moments before I'm supposed to call in.
- A great app for keeping running shopping lists is Shopper. I have numerous running lists for each store I go to, so when I think of something I need, I just enter it in Shopper. Then later on when I'm at the store I have a list of all the things that I need to get. It's better than carrying around scraps of paper (although I still occasionally do that for a quick run to the grocery store). The only thing is you have to remember to actually put the stuff you need on the list. Sometimes I think of something but instantly forget to put it in Shopper, and end up having to go back to the store.
- I have also started keeping stuff like this in ever note, I even take shots of recipes, so much faster than writing stuff down and then I can just look at the store. I also save plant tags. Dropping a pin is great when you park, than you can navigate back.
