The vague sense that I've forgotten something is how I know I haven't forgotten something

[–] kopasz7@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

It's like a terminating zero char of a string, or an EOF (end of file) char. If you don't have the vague feeling, then you haven't exhausted your item list!

Hummed to the tune of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes". Everytime I leave the house...

Keys, Glasses, Wallet, Phone, Wallet, Phone...

I never leave home without it!

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)_/¯

The other wallet, I always forget my second wallet.

Also bags for shopping, in my country free disposable bags aren't allowed so if you forget, you will carry stuff in your pockets and hands.

I probably forgot to turn something off and now the entire building will explode

[–] probable_possum@leminal.space 1 points 1 week ago

And burn down. And then explode again.

The 🔑 belongs into the locked door, so I can't leave without it. Oh the horrors of being locked out.

PS: Never leave the house without a pack of paper tissues.

To cry in when you forget your keys I suppose.

[–] probable_possum@leminal.space 1 points 1 week ago

That's one option but the possibilities are endless.:)

PKW is the acronym needed for this. Life pro time there! Just say PKW when you leave and you're good.
