Add Emergency Contact Info to Your Lock Screen
Consider changing the background of your lock screen with your emergency contact. You can easily do this by simply typing your information into your notes app, take a screenshot, and change it to your lock screen. In case you get into an accident or your phone gets lost, the person who finds you or the phone will know who to call.
DIY Dashcam
Dash cams are great to have when you’re driving; they allow you to capture footage of an accident involving your car (in case you’re not the one at fault). And with this super easy DIY project, you can have one for yourself. All you have to do is attach some rubber bands onto your car’s visor, have your phone’s camera pointing forward, and you’re done.
Screenshot Travel Directions
When we travel to new places, we tend to look for directions on our phone and that drains our battery really fast. So to prevent this, take a screenshot of the directions and then turn off your internet to save the battery.
Store Your Headphones and Charger in a Sunglasses Case
If you have a spare sunglasses case, put it to good use and keep your headphones, chargers, or any loose wires inside so they don’t get tangled.
Take a Photo of Your Fridge or Pantry Before Going to the Store
Whenever you plan to visit the store, make it a habit to take a photo of your pantry or fridge right before so you know what you need to restock. This will save you so much money and time.
DIY Smartphone Charging Holder
Before you throw out those empty lotion bottles, upcycle them and try this DIY project. You just have to cut them out, glue some fabric on the outside, and you’ll have a phone charging holder in a breeze. Not to mention, it’s designed to hang on your wall so you’ll save so much counter space.
