If you have no vision or your vision changes from day-to-day, you could use any one of the following systems:

A popular tactual reminder if you're storing similar items such as bolts, nails, ribbons, paper clips in individual containers (such as drawers, boxes, or jars), is to take one of the items and glue it to the outside of the container.? This will help you to tactually identify the item you need.? Alternatively, place a different number of rubber bands around the different containers; transfer similarly stored items to different shaped containers or tie different textured ribbons around the neck of the containers.

You can use almost anything for labeling as long as the label has meaning to you.
