An old-fashioned bottle opener will help you pop the seal on a new jar of jam, etc.

Keeping small hand tools such as needle-nose pliers and a seam ripper in strategic locations is a life saver for many applications.

A good sense of humor. You MUST be able to laugh at yourself.
"you wanted yours on the floor, yes?" is a fav in our house. If you take everything you do so seriously, its gonna be a long ride.

Keep a pencil (or pen) and a small tablet or notebook in a few places within your house. When you think of something you need or want to accomplish make a simple note of it. You can refer back to your notes and stay on top of your daily tasks.
Example.....make iced tea; today is trash day; pay such-and-such bill on Tuesday; call in rx refills; buy cat food, etc.

Place a white, dry erase board in a central location of the home like the kitchen. Put important events and appointments on it to help remember what is going on.
