Rituals and reminders are amazing for mindset when life has you busy and thinking of other things.
I like this idea:
D/s ankle bands
Also, when the day is busy with vanillastuff, the only time we seem to get alone is during the night, so sleeping with some sort of kinky item in place is really nice. Perhaps being made to wear a collar (something comfy) or plugged while you sleep. *grin*
Everyday things can become more play-like if they are actually specified. Like if you have a habbit of making him a coffee or tea, he may stipulate that it has to be done by or at a certain time.
Online journals are a nice break if you can get 10 or 15 mins to enter into, for his review of course. It wouldn't necessarily be about the content of your journal but the fact that making daily entries is a must. Try: Diaryland
Silly rules and rituals, that really have no purpose other than to keep your mindset are a great turn on for me. Silly things like, if you do dishes, you must wear heels when standing at the sink, you may take them off when done. Being male, having to sit to pee was a neat one.
Rules, reminders and rituals... *swoon* ... now there's a thread all of it's own.
