I spent numerous days worrying about “WHEN will I get a project turned in?”, “HOW am I getting to work on time?”, And “IS it possible to squeeze something in one day so I am a free another day?”

That struggle was REAL I went to extremes to find a plan that works. I present to you…

SAVE THAT WHITEBOARD!!!

We usually get excited when we get to play with our teachers white boards… but it’s not fun when we use a Sharpie instead of a dry erase marker. The teacher will probably be mad at you, and think they can never use the board again… but there is a trick not very many people know! If you use an expo marker and go over the Sharpie, wipe it off and it will be gone! No matter how long the sharpie has been on the board, it will come off as long as you use an expo over it. Sometimes the liquid washer won’t always work and take off the mess you’ve made. And why pay so much money for the white board washer? This trick will do it for you!

I must TILE you something...

Tile

If you are consistently losing track of your devices, wallet, keys, or things like those that you carry with you everywhere and are important to you, just put a Tile on them! A Tile is a Bluetooth tracking device you can hook onto your keys, put in your wallet, or hide anywhere so you can find them without a problem (if your item(s) are nearby).

Press the middle button on any of your tiles connected to your phone via Bluetooth, and it will buzz (even on silent!) until you find it again. When and if your things becomes lost and are not within range, the community can find your things, drop them off nearby, and your phone will alert you when it is within range again! To get started…
