I have a IFTTT location to log to a google spreadsheet each time I enter and leave a clients location. It not only helps me keep track of mileage for taxes, but also to remember to bill for that time. I tend to forget any work time I do when I am away from my desk as billable so this helps.

agreed! only pencils, except actual drawing pencils in various hardness when I am drawing, that I use. I love them.

It's not as fun as to create your own, but I use the Chamberlain CLDM1 Clicker Garage Door Monitor. I have the monitor in my bedroom so I can easily glance at if before I go to sleep. I got mine on Amazon.

I am looking for a way to open and close a floor vent that is hard to get to under my big, low frame bed. I open the vent in the Spring and close it in the Fall. Currently I use my ever-growing nephew to crawl under there.
