Before You Leave

This checklist is located on my front door, so that I see it before I leave. It reminds me of the things I need to do before I leave. The first item, "double check that the morning routine is done," reminds me to make sure I've showered and groomed myself (see Morning Routine). The item to check my schedule reminds me to look at my Palm Pilot to make sure I go to the right work location, since I sometimes work in different locations.

The "Coat" item probably look strange to most people. I have a hard time telling if the air is hot or cold, so I rely on checking weather to make sure I don't forget to take it when I need it. I wrote about this on my Unusual Sensory Traits page.

I hang my Cleaning Schedule in front of my TV, so that I can't watch a show without removing it. That ensures that I actually remember to clean! But, since I watch TV after cleaning, I have to remember to put the list back in front of the TV. This is a convenient place to put that list.

I also use the blank space on the sign to write notes to myself about things I should know. For instance, if tomorrow was going to be a holiday, I would write "No work today!" on it so that I didn't drive to work by mistake.
