this is me but not just for shampoo, for everything

I have to put things in my way to remember. the empty shampoo bottle gets thrown over the shower curtain into the bathroom sink. then when I get out of the shower, I see the bottle and I remember. other things get put in the middle of the kitchen table where they're in the way until I add them to my list.

@regehr i mostly get this and then i have a good week where i remember… and buy eggs or whatever every time i visit a grocery store and end up with waaaaay too many

@regehr how about "stepping into Lowe's"? My head gets noticeably lighter as every home project escapes from it at once.

@regehr I have started proactively yelling at Siri over my shower curtain to put shampoo on the grocery list the second I notice because otherwise no shampoo

@regehr Time stops existing in my shower. Things have improved by mounting a clock where I can see it but it’s no silver bullet

@coolcalmcollected @regehr My sibling-in-law has a bunch of routines like this to manage their ADHD, like, "This single sock is here on the table as a reminder that I need to fold clothes." Then their in-laws, who are my parents, arrive and try to "help" by "picking up clutter", and the routines fall apart

@kaoudis @regehr I circumvent the dimensional memory barrier by having backup shampoo in the pantry and putting it on the grocery list as soon as I take it into the shower

Has anyone tried using an iPhone in the shower? They are supposed to be water resistant and there is a ToDo applet on them.

@regehr I will throw the bottle through the interdimensional portal and into the sink where elsewhen me can discover it. Very Interstellar.

@BartoszMilewski I’d probably forget to charge it, perhaps a lower tech solution like a waterproof notepad
