Before I was diagnosed and living with my girlfriend (now wife) I tried to explain to her why I put important things I didn't want to leave the house with on/in my shoes. I'm amazed she's still with me to this day.
I do that sometimes too. But I usually grab keys first and make sure they are in my pocket. So there is the time I can forget between then and leaving.
Shoes are always something I do as I am literally walking out the door. I also always just wear one pair of shoes usually.
the one useful rule I've miraculously managed to superglue into my brain is "never close a locking door without holding its keys in the same hand you're using to close the door"

On my keys....that's how I remember stuff, or keys on the sliding glass door handle so I don't leave the cat in the porch and leave.
I've only ever remembered to let my cat in because I'm looking for my keys, which I've forgotten are on the door.

Gotta do what works for your brain though lol.
