Organizing the Home

I always forget what I've purchased

10 years ago

In past years I have taken advantage of after Christmas sales and picked up wrapping paper, or lights or whatever, packed them up with my other Christmas stuff, and then completely forgot that I bought them. So of course, I buy them again. This year, I created an event on my phone's calendar. I set my phone to send me a reminder on Nov.1st, of what I've purchased and where I've put it.
