    I don’t often personally identify with this comic, because I don’t have ADHD, but I feel this one deeply.

    I have found that putting things by the door doesn’t work as well as putting them with things that you will never forget to take. For example, I don’t wear shoes indoors, so I will put the thing I need to take inside my shoes. Or since I have a private garage, I can simply put it in my car ahead of time.

      One thing I learned from Dr Drew from the Loveline days is to put your keys with that thing. He would put his keys with vaccines in the fridge to take with him when he left. So if you plan to drive when you go put your keys with the thing or the thing with your keys. I always thought about having a “take box” an box dedicated solely to holding the things you need to take somewhere.

        Sounds like an easy way to lose the keys and forget the thing. Have to always have the keys in the pants or risk forgetting them… at least until the front door gets closed.

          In the situation described, it sounds like he needed to bring along vaccines that would have to be refrigerated. I wouldn’t normally use my keys to remember something, but if the only time I used them was when I put them in the refrigerator, it might theoretically be okay, except for the thing I mention in the next paragraph. Definitely less crazy than me putting my shoes in the fridge.

          But the other thing is that I’m personally a bit paranoid about losing my keys, or having somebody take them, and can’t ever leave my keys in a public area of the house. I might actually have to put my shoes in the fridge like a crazy person.
