I now write a to-do list on a dry-erase board. Before I put it on a forum on-line with a group, but then I just sit at the computer more often.....so....I wanted to share with others that have that difficulty.

I also add a list for the kids. Saves paper too.

I write directly on my white refrigerator with dry erase markers. I also have a couple of dry erase magnetic calendars stuck to the frig. I also use magnetic clips on the frig---holds notes, receipts, etc.

Never thought about using the markers directly on the fridge. What an awesome idea. Now, I'll just need to move all of my magnets to clear some room and I can leave a "honey do" list in a spot I know DH won't miss!!!!

Our front door is metal, we keep one on the back of the door that lists errands and reminders for the week.

We also have one on the frige but it wasn't in your face enough

Do the dry erase markers really come off the refrigerator? Neat idea if it works.

I use dry erase markers on our mirrors for to do lists or to write notes on. When our little ones are sick my husband and I write down when we give medication to them so that if one of us sleeps through the other giving something we don't double up the poor kids.

I have a large board hanging by the front door. It is used to write reminders, to do lists, phone numbers, and love notes. We would be so lost without our dry erase board. What a really neat idea to write on the fridge door and mirrors with the markers. Wonder how that would work on the windows. .. hmmm... off to find a tiny spot on a window no one will notice...

I found a new paint that can turn any surface into a white erase board, so I used it on my daughter's sliding closet doors. I think it's put out by Rustoleum. It's not cheap, but it's working well and helping my daughter stay a little more organized.

Great idea about writing on the refrigerator.

Lea - I got a chuckle out of your dusty piano comment. I was thinking the same thing about my black filing cabinet. Yikes!

I just saw the same concept on Pinterest. Write on your washer things that need hung & not dried if someone else is finishing the laundry (ex. red plaid shirt, black sweater, etc), also on dishwasher; clean or dirty. I can't believe I never thought of this. Great idea! The little things can make life so much easier.

I will use mirrors to write notes to my hubby & son. Forgot about the mirror at the front door...I'm gonna start using it for notes too! I like the fridge idea too...but alas ours is black...so that might not work for us!
