Forgetting my wallet has become an embarrassing habit (especially when trying to checkout at the grocery store…). Going to start doing the verbal check of Phone, Keys, Wallet when I leave the house!

I also liked the idea of carrying a book always and your last point about social anxiety (although it’s admittedly easier said than done). I was guilty of cancelling too many plans in 2017. I always have fun when I finally get out, but actually getting out is the hard part. I’m trying to make a point this year to just do the damn thing – or at least acknowledge my struggle and don’t commit in the first place if I can’t follow through.

Now that i’ve become a mother i find that I’m totally inefficient at doing things so that 1 minute rule may actually work…

Before that it was only “keys, money” haha It is so absolutely useful, because these are the 3 most important things I have on me!

That’s so true for me. I’ll note them down. In the first tip, mine are: phone, keys, wallet, umbrella, earphones before going out 🙂

Especially always keeping a book with you and not saying sorry so much! Both of those things are actually part of my resolutions this year!

I have a motto I’ve been using for a few years since I had kids and stopped being social which has helped so much with your last point: “you won’t regret it if you go and you can always go home early.” It’s so true and lowers the threshold for getting out.

I could relate with almost every thing especially looking for my keys and phone.

It was nice to read this.

I can relate to so much of what you highlighted. “Keys, phone, sunglasses”…definitely need to repeat that to myself whenever I leave somewhere– I’m always losing one of those things! I also need to stop apologizing so much.

Hi Jess – Thank you so much for your comment. You are absolutely right and I will be much more careful in my verbiage from now on. Words matter!

Or really, anything – I’ve seen it in other articles on this site too, usually as a hyperbolic adjective I guess, but since I live with (and love) someone who deals with OCD daily, I can say it’s far from a “life hack” or hyperbole. In my limited experience/exposure, it can take years of dedication and professional support to live with and manage obsessive compulsive disorder and associated behaviors. Language is powerful, and I know W&D has been vocal on mental health in the past, so it would be wonderful to see more consideration around describing an obsession or a regular habit without correlating it to disordered behavior or neurological differences.

Now, instead of mindlessly scrolling through social media while in line (or wherever), I’ll read a few pages of a book.

Thank you so much for brightening my whole day up with a bunch of laughs and great advice! The Trader Joe’s story is SO true, why are their parking lots so damn tiny!? I always tell my husband: “wallet, keys, phone,” before he leaves the house, and I hate going out when I’ve made plans, but its always been fun. I’ll definitely be sharing this article on my blog!

It’s a good one, and it’s easy for me because I’m pretty OCD about getting stuff done before I relax.
