 |
| 7. Use your phone to see other angles of your haircut. |

This way, if they get lost (God forbid), you have the most up-to-date photo of your children. |
| 10. Photograph landmarks around your hotel when you travel. |

If you're not sure if you're in the right place, just check your phone. You can also show it to cab drivers and they'll know where to take you. |
| 11. The same goes for when you park in a big parking lot. No more walking around trying to remember which floor you parked your car on. |
 |
| 12. Take a picture of your fridge before you go grocery shopping, so you know what you need to get. |
 |
| 13. Have your prescription number at hand. |
