Easily Remove Windshield Stickers by Keeping One Corner Unstuck
Chillychili shares a tip for all those parking passes:
When applying car inspection stickers (or other stickers) that go on the windshield of your car, leave a small corner of the sticker with the original wax paper backing on it. This way, you have a tab to easily remove it when you need to.

Keep an Extra Debit Card for Online Purchases
Trea Hauet shares one way to avoid the pain of changing your payment information:
I'm usually pretty good at hanging on to my plastic, but every now and again my debit card will go missing. One thing I've always hated is going around to each of my service providers (Netflix, Hulu, XBOX Live, Spotify, etc.) and update the card I have on file. The last time this happened, I realized I could have multiple cards attached to my checking account! This way I can have one card that I use for these services, that isn't needed day to day, that can sit at home in a safe place and another for day to day use. Perfect!

That way you won't be tempted to start up the equipment without running off to find them. Here is one of mine attached to a propane burnisher.
