Your checklist, that is.
 
If you have a tendency to forget critical items when you leave the home, here’s a solution. Create a checklist like the one below. Post it in a prominent location such as on the door, or in your vehicle.
 
My Checklist: 
  • Phone
  • Wallet/purse
  • Glasses

  • Reusable bags
  • Lunch
  • Directions
  • Specific paperwork
 
Done! No more embarrassment, frustration, anger, or upset.
