It is my most favorite time of year! The holiday season – and I say holidays as anything that comes from the week of Thanksgiving right through New Years. However, this time of year also tends to stress me out – a lot.
My to-do list seems incredibly long right now, but knowing that I can utilize technology (like my iPhone) to make my life easier is something I am definitely excited about!
I am happy to have a reliable network through U.S. Cellular that makes these hacks a huge help during this very busy season.
Omg I would of never thought of taking a pic of where you parked!!! I don't know why hat never crossed my mind. Genius
Tips are FANTASTIC. I've used the picture of where you parked before. Another tip I just found was take a pic of an index card with your information (Name, Number, Address) with your camera so that if it gets lost, it can be returned.
I love these tips! My smartphone has been a huge lifesaver for me. I take pictures of everything from my parking spot to grocery lists!
love your great tips useful in several areas of life. Thanks for sharing

I like the idea of taking pictures of the items in your fridge. This is a great way to remember whether you have the essentials at home or not.
I love to take pictures of the items my daughter picks out at the store for her Christmas list! It keeps all the ideas in one place and then I won't lose her list!

Great reminders! I need to start taking pictures of my lists, etc. Thank you for the reminders.
I like to take a picture of my grocery list before I leave the house, never fails–I'm at the store and realize I forgot my list. But I have it on my phone so not all is lost! lol
Great idea to use the location based reminders! I am a paper list maker, but sometimes that extra back up from technology really helps!
The holidays are meant to be enjoyed, not thinking of ways to make it 'easier'. Be grateful for everything you have in your life, and not so much on what you don't have. Cheers!
Scanning your passport and itinerary is a good shout! I am always so disorganized so these tips would definitely help xx

I love that you mention taking pictures of where you park! I've been doing that for yours! It came in so handy when in at Mall of America and we got lost! I've never charged my phone on airplane mode, totally going to have to try that!
The Notes app on my iPhone are filled with to-do lists and shopping reminders for the holidays. It's so convenient and I don't have to worry about misplacing the paper if I wrote it all down.
I love the easy tips with the camera on the phone! I think taking photos of the parking spot is genius! I am always forgetting where I park or have to reeeeeally make a mental note about it. This is much easier!
I take photos of where I park all the time! It's helped me quite often. I also use notes in my phone. I make lists and update them over the year. We do group emails for everyone so we can stay in touch with what we're doing for the holidays.
Oooo! I love the Reminders idea! I have to charge on airplane mode, too. Constantly letting my phone get too low.
