It’s definitely a old school type of lifehack. I am not sure how many people use this now – but a productivity item to have in the kitchen is a whiteboard. It’s a great media to share information with other members in the house. Here are some ideas:
- Draw up a calendar. Use different colors to represent different members in the house and mark their schedule every week on the whiteboard. You know when will they be at home or having a dinner appointment.
- Share coupons. Ever find it difficult to share your pizza or gas discount coupons with other house members? Buy a set of magnets and stick them on the whiteboard. Whoever needs them can take it freely.
- Leave message for others. It is just a great physical message board to deliver message to others – Message like, “Will be running late tonight – home by 7pm”, “Pick up some fruits when you pass by a supermarket tonight” will save you some time on trying to reach the person.
- Idea areas. Don’t have time to sit together and plan for your next getaway? Allocate an area on the whiteboard and ask everyone to chip in their ideas. Building the list of ideas everyday and those ideas will generate some actionable items.
Do you have a whiteboard at home? How do you use it with your family?
Instead of buying an actual whiteboard, I went to an office supply store and got a pack of dry-erase transparencies for a dollar, and hung them on the fridge with magnets. My fridge is white, so pretty much the whole thing is a whiteboard now. We mainly just use them for messages and reminders, and magnets still stick to the fridge through them, so it’s really nice.
Currently titled “Oh no, we’ve run out of…”, our whiteboard is used to collate items for the weekly shopping list.
My new wife and I listed each of our preexisting debt sources to keep track of how we’re doing paying them down (almost there!) It’s a great way to visualize and remember such numeric goals.
A whiteboard was one of the first things we put up in our kitchen when we moved in. It’s a large one and has a cork section for pinning flyers/coupons etc to as well.
We use it for everything – shopping lists, reminders, birthdays, when the dog last had it’s flea treatment, different quotes on getting our fence redone, what time the cake went into the oven and when to take it out, when that movie we want to see will be on telly next, friends phone numbers, holiday dates, appointments, phone messages … you name it, it goes on there!
I have two small whiteboards in the kitchen, held by magnets to the frig. One holds the running grocery list. It’s got a line drawn vertically down the middle. One side is for the regular weekly store and the other side for our local ” big box” store. The other white board holds a rough freezer inventory so I don’t forget when I stash some “leftover chili verde” or “pork chops” in there. I just erase the line when we eat it up. When I’m stuck for a dinner idea, I can easily look to see what’s on hand.
