Don't forget to remember 5 minutes after you leave that you forgot something else important! I forget my glasses half the time when I leave the house only to get in my car and realize I can't see before I pull put of my driveway. I almost never forget any of my other stuff though, because that gets neatly(ish) organized into my purse (and very rarely leaves the seemingly TARDIS-like pockets in my tiny little crossbody), and I can't even get into my cars without the keys from my purse ¯_(ツ)_/¯
