Remind Yourself Of Outgoing Mail By Sticking It To Your Front Door

It’s always the really important mail you end up forgetting to send. Lifehacker reader peoplemover shares a super simple trick for reminding yourself to head to the mailbox or post office: stick it to your front door with a magnet.If it’s on the front door, right in your face as you leave, you’ll always remember to take it with you:

If you’ve got a metal front door to your house and don’t want to forget your mail, stick it to the door with a magnet. If you get some of the super strong neodymium magnets you can stick pretty much anything to the door, including thick letters!

Right now, we’ve got ours sitting on our kitchen counter, which is probably the worst place to leave it — we forget it all the time. If you’re lucky enough to have some metal on your door, this is just another great use for magnets in your home. Photo by Karen Dalziel.
