@regehr God damnit. this reminds me that I've been pouring shower water into my long suffering bottle of head and shoulders for like 2 weeks to eek out one more shower.

I have to put things in my way to remember. the empty shampoo bottle gets thrown over the shower curtain into the bathroom sink. then when I get out of the shower, I see the bottle and I remember. other things get put in the middle of the kitchen table where they're in the way until I add them to my list.

@regehr how about "stepping into Lowe's"? My head gets noticeably lighter as every home project escapes from it at once.

@regehr I have started proactively yelling at Siri over my shower curtain to put shampoo on the grocery list the second I notice because otherwise no shampoo

@regehr Time stops existing in my shower. Things have improved by mounting a clock where I can see it but it’s no silver bullet

@coolcalmcollected @regehr My sibling-in-law has a bunch of routines like this to manage their ADHD, like, "This single sock is here on the table as a reminder that I need to fold clothes." Then their in-laws, who are my parents, arrive and try to "help" by "picking up clutter", and the routines fall apart

Has anyone tried using an iPhone in the shower? They are supposed to be water resistant and there is a ToDo applet on them. -

@regehr I will throw the bottle through the interdimensional portal and into the sink where elsewhen me can discover it. Very Interstellar.

@regehr
There's also the option of installing an electrical outlet in the shower...Though, on second thought...

@regehr @BartoszMilewski I have a dive slate for this … but then I leave the slate in the shower and forget about it, or leave it out of the shower when I have to write something down.

@regehr @BartoszMilewski I also have a waterproof notepad for backpacking, but while it does survive the occasional drenching, I don’t think it would hold up to regular shower use.
