Having a mnemonic helps me with routine everyday things, though one-time things require the “attach keys or block door” method.
What I have settled on for routine items is a numbered list. Nothing complicated to remember. Just which item is which number.
When I get ready to leave my house, or stand up to leave work, it goes like this counting in my head:
1, 2: work phone and personal phone in one pocket
3, 4: wallet and keys in the other pocket
5, 6: watch on my left wrist and water bottle in my right hand
[7, 8]: if necessary: wireless earbuds and backpack
Plus at work, I have a strict rule that I cannot put my keys anywhere but my pocket. My fob to get in the building is on my key chain, and after the second time I locked myself out I made the rule. If I do take my keys out of my pocket to clip/unclip something like a USB flash drive or nail clippers, the keys stay in my hand until they go back into the pocket.
Sounds like lots of folks who could take advantage of SmartTags/Airtags and the “notify when left behind” function. Tuck/Clip a tag in thing that needs to go with. Get electronically yelled at if you get to far.
This is me 5 times a day when I go fill up my water bottle, I get an email, use the bathroom or do something else quickly and go back to my desk and 15 minutes later go to drink water and realize I left it upstairs by the fridge.
Mid 20s for me. Not from the ear canal, but I have hairs growing along the helix on both of my ears. On the plus side, I now know what that part of the ear is called.
I once told my cousin that eventually your fingers fall off and you grow in your adult fingers. I told him like how his dad(physical laborer) has big hands/ fingers eventually his would be like that. He believed me but asked my other cousin when he got home who just confirmed it to him. Now we both are kinda jerks maybe but this comic could totally happen.
Drew Carey had some material about this. I don't remember the whole bit, but part of it was about how after puberty, all your zits migrate down your back to your ass. 😆
