The trick is to have the things obstruct the door, so you're forced to become consciously aware of them as you leave. Nothing short of that (or a spreadsheet for packing if you're going overnight) works for me.

What idiot put this thing in front of the door? Oh well off to where I need to go!

[-] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Next time I'll leave a note describing why the thing is blocking the door on the thing.

[-] schmidtster@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Huh I wonder why that note is on this thing in my way, oh well I’m late gotta go!

But wait, you forgot your coffee. Go back inside, set the important thing down, get your coffee and lock up.

I swear ADHD is like life in hard mode sometimes.

[-] Zink@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

There was a meme I saw on Lemmy a while back that said undiagnosed ADHD is like having life set to hard mode but you and everybody else think you’re set to easy mode.

Getting a diagnosis and/or treatment doesn’t change the fact that you’re on hard mode, but at least you know what you need to tackle.

I will LITERALLY tie things to my car keys.

I bring a satchel with me when I leave the house. I leave it in the car 99% of the time, but it has my sunglasses, sanitizer, umbrella, etc. in it. So, it's helpful to bring along. I toss my keys in it and whatever the important thing is. If the important this is too big, I wrap the strap of the satchel around the thing or wind the strap around some part of it. I still forget things sometimes, but this has helped me significantly.

That'll be the one time I decide to use my front door instead of garage door on the morning lol

This is why I have magnets on my door. So if it's something like a form or an envelope to mail, I can stick it right over the doorknob

[-] Signtist@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I always put my keys on anything I need to remember, since they're the last thing I grab before I head out, and I can't lock the door or start the car without them. If it's more of a concept, I write it on a post-it, then put the keys on that.
