ADHD here. Remembering things is a lost cause for me.
Instead, I lay physical “traps” for myself. Things in physical space that hinder my autopilot, snap me out of the trance, and give me a chance to reorient my focus into something more productive.
It’s not foolproof. Far from it. But it does help a lot.
Edit:
Just thought of another one I do: I have a phone casing that lets me keep cards in them. One of my credit cards go there, of course.
But the more important thing in there is my apartment access card. If I ever forget to bring my phone, I will only get as far as the security door outside before I realise I have to turn back.
I do this too. But every once in a while I’ll move it out of the way on autopilot 🥲
Oh, definitely.
I guess a way around it is to block your door with something that’s actually physically inconvenient to move out of the way. But that runs the risk of me just giving up and going to bed for the day.
