    If this happens to you such as whether or not you locked your door before a trip do something novel while doing it.

    Standing on one foot, or using your non-dominate hand (or at the end for something like brushing your teeth).

      I hate being halfway to work in the morning and having to go back because I couldn’t remember shutting my apartment door.

      It drives me absolutely insane.

        You can also get a smart lock that will tell you
