This is how I remember lots of things. Move my keys, shoes, glasses, whatever. Makes me think about the reason I moved them and remember what I’m supposed to take with me. This only works if said items always live in the same spot all other times.

Putting things in my shoes is my go to. I don't wear shoes in the house so it's always the last thing I do before going out the door. If I put the thing on the door handle I'll just not see it. I can physically open my door without having to grab something handing from it. If they are physically in my shoes I have to actually grab the thing as the very last thing I do. So it reduces the chance I'll set it down and forget it.

I also only ever wear one pair of shoes unless I'm going to the gym or something. So no real worry of choosing the wrong shoes.
