Same. I have a "keys-wallet-phone-pad" routine in which I make sure my pockets contain all of: my keys, my wallet, my cell phone, and the 7-inch tablet that I carry everywhere. I've gotten into the habit of doing it every time I get up if I'm not at home or at my desk at work.
- spectistcles 10y agospectacles testicles wallet & watch (originally a joke about the sign of the cross, but it's how I remember everything when I leave and also some fun blasphemy for the whole family)
- roywiggins 10y agoIf anything a bit of blasphemy is going to make it even more memorable, so it is a good strategy!
- jnordwick 10y agoI do the almost the exact same thing, minus the pad. I repeat "keys, wallet, phone" (in that order) as I touch each one when I'm leaving. Bonus, when you get into a good enough habit of doing this, you even do it automatically when you're drunk.
- loco5niner 10y agoThat is exactly what I do, "keys, wallet, phone" in that order.
- kalleboo 10y agoI used to have a doormat that said "mobile phone, keys, wallet" (in Swedish) https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/7f/58/df/7f58df33259cf51ca28c60e2b566e286.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/7f/58/df/7f58... These days I just tap my pockets. I freak out if I do that check when I happen to be holding onto my phone or keys
- tomcam 10y agoI use this technique too. Very, very effective. Unfortunately I often cary a pocket radio, which I unconsciously note as either wallet or phone. Have started to use its clip to attach it to my shirt.
- stepanhruda 10y agoYes, the usual triple tap routine
- Overtonwindow 10y ago2007 before leaving the house: "Wallet, keys, cell phone, iPod, blackberry" oh how far we've come.

- t0mas88 10y agoWhen 100% jet lagged traveling with a colleague we setup the "coat, phone, creditcard" check as a joke whenever we were walking out of a place. Surprisingly it saved a phone twice and a coat a million times because the destination had great weather.
- zo1 10y agoAnother thing that helps, and I do it as well. Is to have dedicated pockets for each item. E.g. Car keys in back-right, house-keys in back-left, cellphone in front-right, and wallet in front-left.
- Rapzid 10y agoI add passport when I'm heading to an international flight. Wallet and passport.
- Ezhik 10y agoI do the tap phone and keys check, but I keep my wallet in my backpack tied to a string on a carabiner, so it's always in my bag, except when in my hands. Same thing with my glasses, either they're in my bag, or on my face.
