Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The trick is to have the things obstruct the door, so you're forced to become consciously aware of them as you leave. Nothing short of that (or a spreadsheet for packing if you're going overnight) works for me.
What idiot put this thing in front of the door? Oh well off to where I need to go!
Next time I'll leave a note describing why the thing is blocking the door on the thing.
Huh I wonder why that note is on this thing in my way, oh well I’m late gotta go!
HAH! Too true 😢
But wait, you forgot your coffee. Go back inside, set the important thing down, get your coffee and lock up.
I swear ADHD is like life in hard mode sometimes.
There was a meme I saw on Lemmy a while back that said undiagnosed ADHD is like having life set to hard mode but you and everybody else think you’re set to easy mode.
Getting a diagnosis and/or treatment doesn’t change the fact that you’re on hard mode, but at least you know what you need to tackle.
I will LITERALLY tie things to my car keys.
I bring a satchel with me when I leave the house. I leave it in the car 99% of the time, but it has my sunglasses, sanitizer, umbrella, etc. in it. So, it's helpful to bring along. I toss my keys in it and whatever the important thing is. If the important this is too big, I wrap the strap of the satchel around the thing or wind the strap around some part of it. I still forget things sometimes, but this has helped me significantly.
That'll be the one time I decide to use my front door instead of garage door on the morning lol
I always put my keys on anything I need to remember, since they're the last thing I grab before I head out, and I can't lock the door or start the car without them. If it's more of a concept, I write it on a post-it, then put the keys on that.
