As I'm walking to work (instead of cycling, which I normally do, in an effort to slow down the mind somewhat) I was thinking of what other things I could do to try and break the routine of a workday. What are other people doing?

I put my keys and wallet on top of the fridge when I used to have to go to the office. When I first started living with my wife she move them for a week to where they were "supposed to go". I forgot my lunch most of that week. I quickly established that the fridge was the "correct" location and generally never forgot a lunch after that.

    Exactly!
    With that clever coupling trick you made sure that if one thing happens, another thing happens as well. I don't have that sort of connection to my lunch box, and I've paid for it many times. Probably should develop some sort of routine for that as well. So far, I just hope that I remember to do everything in the morning.

    As long as the sequence of actions isn't altered, it works pretty well. When something unexpected happens and I have to deviate from my routine, that's when everything goes off the rails.
