Do you use your smartphone’s camera as a reminder helper? I sure do! Check this video out – in it, I offer two simple tips (one involving my iPhone camera) to remember where you parked your car at the airport.
I also use my iPhone camera to help me remember things like this:
- Books I want to read. I take photos of books I want to read (yes, I take photos of book covers at Barnes & Noble, then check them out at the library).
- Errands at a store. If I need to buy something that I have at home, like a certain cleaner, I will take a photo of the bottle, then use that to find the right one at the store.
- Storing a reminder image for later. I actually have a photo of my vacuum cleaner bag package stored in Evernote. This way, when I’m out and about and remember “oh yeah, I need to buy vacuum cleaner bags,” I’ll be able to get the right one.
How about you? Do you use your camera to help you remember stuff? Let me know!
I take pictures of whatever tech device I am disconnecting so I know how to re-connect without pulling out my hair.
I do the same thing in bookstores! I took a photo yesterday of the whiteboard I was using of a website I was creating 🙂
This is such a great idea. I haven’t done it but I will start.
