ATM Envelopes

How many times have you gone to your ATM only to find there are NO deposit envelopes. When you go the ATM next, there should be a box that holds extra envelopes. Grab a few and keep them in your glovebox. Then, when you go to make a deposit, you're all set to go.

Addressing Holiday Cards

Save and update your addresses in a Microsoft Word label sheet. When the holidays come around, you can just print the labels and stick them onto all of your greeting card and holiday letter envelopes. It saves a lot of time searching for addresses and hand-writing them on each envelope.

Picture parking

When you go to a place with a really big parking lot and you want to remember where you parked, just take a picture with your digital camear. Later, instead of looking for your car, you can look at the picture, then just simply delete it.

Defrosting with Cooking Spray

After defrosting your freezer or refrigerator, spray the coils with a vegetable cooking spray. Next time defrosting will be twice as fast and neat.

No More Lost Stamps

Keep your stamps and some address labels in your checkbook. I have always just stuck them behind the check register. It helps to just grab your checkbook and bills and know that you won't have to go searching for the stamps.

Stuck window

I use a pizza cutter to go into the cracks around the window to free it so I can raise it when it is stuck.

Parking in Garage

Tie a string to a paper cup and hang it from the ceiling in the garage in the spot that you park, making sure that it touches your car's windshield. This will save time and prevent accidents.
