Grocery-list shortcut

One of the first principles of organizing is to work with your natural tendencies, not against them. Well my natural tendencies when it comes to a grocery list is writing it on a whiteboard that's on the front of my freezer. Problem: I'm not going to schlep the whiteboard to the store!

I tried using my ListMaker app on the iPhone but that requires re-entering my list into my phone. Doesn't tend to happen very much!

But today I had a realization based on a new trend I see at work...using the iPhone camera to take a picture of the notes on a whiteboard you want to save. I can take a picture of the list on my whiteboard with one click and have it in my phone at the store with no extra typing required.

Genius!!

This is definitely going to be my new approach for list transference in the future. Such a time saver!
