    This is the answer. Shit works so well I routinely just use sharpies to write on mirrors or windows when I need to. Any surface that’s glass, metal, or in a pinch hard plastic if it’s not going to sit too long. Come in later with dry erase. Fantastic way to leave notes on the mirror. Dry erase won’t hold up to the steam in a shower if it’s something that needs to be there for a bit, like an on going list, daily affirmations or some shit, or reminders.

      China markers are perfect for this. I made this move a few years ago to mark my left overs in the fridge.

      China markers come off when rubbed intentionally, unlike dry erase that erase with the slightest incidental rub.

      Permanent markers can “bake” on in the dishwasher (as can dry erase) where China markers rub off.

      Rubbing alcohol has always worked for me too. May be easier to have on hand than dry erase markers.

        How would they use the reminder app on their phone to write on their mirror in permanent ink

          No, you write on your reminder app in permanent ink. Duh

            I have actually used sharpies to write on my phone screen, for like, super important shit that I need to make sure not to figure when I wake up. Often, notifications get ignored or forgotten about

              You people are weird. Why not just like tape a note to it? That seems less destructive.

                Because it’s not destructive at all. It wipes away just like dry erase, except it doesn’t wipe away until you want it to.

                Learned about years ago when I worked a job packing bags for a prison commissary. Would write the inmates name on the plastic packaging in sharpie. If you made a mistake you could erase it. Works a charm.

          I ignore most notifications on my phone, other than like active shit, like phone calls. Most notifications are turned off, and I’m not in the habit of actually reading notifications. It’s better for my mental health not to rely on them. I use older school methods for most shit.
