A mandolin slicer is a very handy, safe alternative to hand-slicing produce.

Default Dining out
The chefs/cooks in every restaurant will gladly cut your meats and other dishes into bite-sized pieces for you in the kitchen. You have only to ask your server for this service.

Default Crock Pot
Dust off the crock pot and use it. It is a big time/energy saver. Put everything in it in the morning and dinner is done by the time you get home and/or are ready to have dinner.

Default Ice Packs
Keep some of the ice packs that you get from the drug companies. There a numerous ways you can use them. Use them in the car during the hot summer months. Use them as a cold compress for pain. Use them to keep your meds cold while traveling. Use them in a fishing vest when doing outside activities during warmer weather.

Caution: Don't use them on your hands/feet if you have a burning sensation.

Default For dumb fingers
Unsharpened pencils with clean erasers are perfect for pushing small buttons on a remote, phone, calculator, electronic oven, etc. Keep them everywhere!
