I try to avoid breaking the routine. Today, my morning was different from normal, and as a result, I forgot to take my lunch with me. Good job!
As long as I put my phone and keys in the same place every day, I will always find them easily. As soon as I break that routine, they just disappear mysteriously.
Bonus is now you can choose whatever you want for lunch!
I put my keys and wallet on top of the fridge when I used to have to go to the office. When I first started living with my wife she move them for a week to where they were "supposed to go". I forgot my lunch most of that week. I quickly established that the fridge was the "correct" location and generally never forgot a lunch after that.
Exactly!
With that clever coupling trick you made sure that if one thing happens, another thing happens as well. I don't have that sort of connection to my lunch box, and I've paid for it many times. Probably should develop some sort of routine for that as well. So far, I just hope that I remember to do everything in the morning.
As long as the sequence of actions isn't altered, it works pretty well. When something unexpected happens and I have to deviate from my routine, that's when everything goes off the rails.
