Mobility
 
Get a Rollator with a built in seat for those times when you might have to unexpectedly stand for long periods of time.

Use a clothes pin to clip your grocery list to the shopping cart along with an evelope with all the coupons you will be using at the store. This way you won't have to carry these and won't misplace them somewhere on some shelf in the store.

Clothing
 
Have your jeans tailored so that the sides have velcro. Makes it easier to put them on when spasms are interfering.

grabbers
 
Keep one in the place you spend the most time. Also keep one in the car.

Pills
 
Keep them together in a dispenser labeled with the days of the week so you know if you've taken them or not.

Try to be consistent in where you put things (keys, scissors, tape etc.) to save time looking.

kitchen timer
 
Set the kitchen timer whenever there's something you need to get back to, or even an appointment you need to remember during the day.

So you don't forget
 
If there's something you KNOW you're likely to forget, place a trash can in an out-of-the-ordinary place (sink, chair) to alert your brain it needs to remember something.

Safety
 
Always take your phone with you, when leaving your safetyzone in or out of your home....and,

if you think you may fall, leave your frontdoor unlocked, in case you have to call 911. (lol, just ask me)
