Leave it next to the door, put keys I can't leave without using on top.

STILL FUCKING FORGET IT

    I have a place where i leave my important things. Headphones, keys, wallet, you name it. It's really convenient, because something is always missing and ends up jn the most random plce in the house.

    Maybe I didn't explain very well, very possible

    My normal routine requires things to have "a place" otherwise chaos reigns.

    I put the keys on the thing to remember so I can't leave u til I find my keys. I have to see the bag I need to remember.. I get distracted and forget. Or pick it up. Put it down. Forget.

    Brain is a sieve without structure.

    I have a hook on my front door, just above the handle. Hang a bag with the thing I need to bring with me - can't open the door without picking up the bag. The problem with this is that I usually forget to bring the bag back inside with me lol

    It took me over two years to get my wife to hang the fucking keys on the rack by the door and she's still a bit hit-and-miss.

    "Where are my keys?!"

    "Well, they're not on the rack, that's for sure."

    See my comments ITT about mnemonics. Read a book about it back in the 90s, very short. The author promised I would be able to remember the 50 US states in alphabetical order in minutes. Yeah, right. I had the first 20 down with no effort. Life changing brain hack.

    Imagine the thing you can't forget attacking you, or a wall of $thing busting through the door as you approach. The more surreal the scene, the better you'll remember. Neat part? You might not remember what you imagined, but your brain will kick into gear on it's own. It's a simpler version of a memory palace.
