If you have to go somewhere, and need to have something with you,
don’t put it by the door.
put it in the car instead.
I have walked past my take-with-you pile so many times. I’ve even stepped over it. Obviously this is if you are driving to your destination and the item isn’t perishable.
When you arrive at your destination, it is so much better to say, “Be right back, I left it in the car.” vs. “Ugh, I forgot it at home.”
*Grammar edit: This tip would work well for a book, not “…isn’t perishable, like a book”.

My “bring with me” pile is under my car keys and my wallet. Always on the same corner of my countertop. Anything that works for you, honestly! I’ve found those tips are really person dependent. Some things I’ve read online and in books on the subject, I tried to apply myself, and many never worked. Some are just coping mechanisms or tricks I developed for myself as years went by.
