Investing Time To Save Time – Week 2 – Car and Purse Kits

Think back on all the times you were out and about and wished you had a Band-Aid, scissors, flashlight, hand lotion, sunscreen, ice pack or other necessities that are needed only in emergencies. If you invest a little time up front arming your car and purse with emergency supplies, you will not only save time and avert disasters; you might become someone’s hero! I remember when I was at softball practice and one of the ladies got hit in the nose with the ball. I quickly ran to the car, opened my emergency supply kit, got a travel ice pack out, ran back to the field and held it on her nose. Her nose turned purple before everyone’s eyes, so she was whisked away to the hospital. The point is, how often have you thought to yourself that if you only had this or that, what a big help it would be? Another time, I was at the park with my 3 children when my youngest screamed out in pain. She had stepped on a bee with her bare foot. Again, I ran to the car, got out the bee sting kit and took care of it.

All too often, we aren’t willing to invest time in what matters most. It’s so hard to see what isn’t in front of us. Start a list at the beginning of the week writing down everything you can think of that would make your life a little easier or that you have needed in the past and haven’t had on hand. Then, set aside a day to do a complete shopping trip. Stock up on everything you wrote on your list. When you get home, make up a car box that always stays in the car and a purse kit to have with you at all times.

Here’s a partial list to get you started:

FOR YOUR CAR BOX

  • Band Aides
  • Pocket size sewing kit
  • Nail file
  • Retractable razor
  • Sun screen
  • Antihistamines/Benadryl
    (for insect bites, stings, or allergy attacks)
  • Neosporin
  • Cough drops
  • Ibuprofen
  • Tylenol
  • Pepto-Bismol
  • First aid cream
  • Cotton balls
  • Hydrogen peroxide
  • Safety pins
  • Ice packs
    (you break them and they become cold)
  • Glue
  • Tape
  • Pliers
  • Screwdrivers (flat head & phillips head)
  • Jumper cables
  • Flashlight
  • Napkins
  • Plastic trash bags
  • Eating utensils (just a few)
  • Paper cups
  • Small water bottle
  • Lip balm
  • Snacks that will last in a car for a bit.
FOR YOUR PURSE – Most of these items should come in sample sizes

  • Mini sewing kit
  • Band Aides
  • Antihistamines/Benadryl (for insect bites, stings, or allergy attacks)
  • Neosporin (the drug stores have small pocket sized packs)
