A UL Measuring Stick

I came up with this easy way to measure water by making a "measuring stick" that weighs almost nothing and you can make with things you already have laying around the house. It's nothing more than a strip of paper with measurements for different volumes of water in my pot. To make it waterproof, I simply sandwiched it between 2 pieces of packing tape but if you want to get fancy, you can laminate it.

To use, simply hold the measuring stick against the inner wall of the pot and pour the water to reach your desired volume. Keep in mind, different pots will require their own individual measuring sticks. I write the name and model number of the pot on each measuring stick.
