Unhappy Coping with Specs

Just got my first ever pair of prescription specs and wondered how others cope.
After a good while of struggling to read smaller print and then normal print becoming harder to read in anything but bright daylight I gave in and submitted myself for an eye test.
Result was that I now have my first pair of reading specs which are fine for anything between 6" and 2' 6" but beyond that, I dont need them and the glasses make things harder to see. I have succumbed to age.

What I am trying to come to terms with is having to have the damned things on and off like a yo yo and wondered how others cope.
How do you cope with having charts on your knee, glancing down then back up again.
Bifocals?, a little tiddly pair that sit on the end of your nose like some victorian school ma'am or what?
I am enjoying not squinting now but the constant on and off and going out and forgetting them is really p***ing me off.
