You know all of those BuzzFeed articles with amazing Life Hacks that you just read and can’t help but *facepalm* because you can’t believe you didn’t think of it before? Something so SIMPLE. So OBVIOUS.
Well. I HAVE ONE.
Behold, the Key Ring Reminder
I can’t tell you how many times I have had a letter to be mailed and drove right by the box on my way out of work. Or thought ahead to make lunch for the week – only to forget my lunchbox on my desk?
In this modern world of gadgets and email (Outlook email pop-ups, I’m lookin’ at you) and calendars for calendars, you can’t help but develop a serious case of OFFICE-A-D-D sometimes. And all of those Outlook reminders, pop-ups on my phone, etc — I’ve been conditioned to ignore them!
But at the end of the day, it’s hard to ignore a big pink note that wasn’t there on your keys before.
The texture of the paper is different from your keys, the bright color is eye catching, and the application of this method could NOT be easier!
Get yourself a binder clip (my FAVORITE office supply). Yup. Any size that works with your keys. This one is a little 1/4 incher, but a 1/2 inch will still work without being bulky.
Ok, now put the binder clip on your keyring. Either thread it ’round the ring like you do your keys, or cheat and remove one arm from the clip, then replace it with the ring inside.
Now, clip your notes, your quick grociery list, whatever it is your ADD brain can’t seem to grasp for the moment and go forth as a more productive member of society. You rock!
