You know someone out there is reading this thread and going, “There’s a _“strong”_ button?!? Challenge accepted!” and rushing out to buy some of your Death Wish coffee. My contribution to the thread is, “Never pass up an opportunity to sleep, shower, or shit.” Particularly on road trips. ---

Always put your keys in the same place. Saves lots of time. Even better if you can put your wallet/purse in the same spot. ---

Double that for glasses, esp. if you can’t see to friggin’ _find_ your glasses when you’re not wearing 'em. I recently stuck a small whiteboard to my fridge, to jot down stuff that’s close to needing to GO or meal ideas or just reminders that I bought such-and-such and need to prep it long before I want to get around to eating it. It’s helping a lot with forgotten leftovers and produce that is dutifully purchased and fetched home then dutifully thrown away once it rots. ---

I tend to run the dishwasher at night while I’m asleep. Since there are only two of us in the house and neither are big time cooks or entertainers, it doesn’t get run all that often. I’ve taken to leaving the detergent bottle out on the counter in front of my morning tea supplies so that I remember to unload the machine. Unloading the DW as my tea brews has the added advantage of starting my day off with at least one chore crossed off my list too 🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/little-life-and-or-sanity-saving-tips/915130.md?page=2)
