Husband Calling

Sometimes the smartest ideas are the simplest. Consider listing your spouse as “Husband (Name)” in your cell phone contacts, so that someone knows whom to call immediately if you lose your phone or if there’s an emergency.

My friend Lisa’s husband Jeff recently left his cell phone at a restaurant, and was reunited with it because he had listed her as “Wifey” in his contacts. She showed up in his recently dialed numbers, so the restaurant called her right away.

You could do the same with Mom & Dad, siblings, or important medical contacts (i.e. “Ob Gyn” or “Pediatrician,” rather than “Dr. Miller.”)
