The trick that I've used also works for OCD: Say it to yourself. "The door is locked."

Works pretty well.

Am I remembering yesterdays door locking or today?

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 months ago

Speaking it out loud is a great way to remember many things.

"Keys, wallet, phone" as you get ready.

"Door's locked" as you leave.

"Oven's off"

Etc

I got a new car that automatically unlocks when you pull on the door handle with the fob nearby. It's so hard to not pull on the handles after locking to check. I've had the locks fail on me once on an older car so I'm always paranoid.

I relock, or check the rear door (mine only automatically unlocks when you pull the front door handles)

I got a 9 volt battery three weeks ago for my multimeter, at home I put it aside somewhere the cats wouldn't get at it to play with it and lose it on me.

I haven't seen it since. I have no clue where I could have put the damned thing.

I film myself locking the door. I have evidence.

I had this thought all the way to the airport, once. Got on the plane without knowing the answer for sure.

I did lock the door, it turned out.

I have a lock that I can check the status of on my phone, and even lock it from my phone if I forgot. It's really good for my peace of mind. No more getting up in the middle of the night to check the lock.

Wasn't I supposed to ask myself a question!? I wonder what it could possibly be? :-P
