Back to Dirty Little Secrets Index Dirty Little Secret Trouble remembering to bring things when you leave your house or office? Do this… by Maria Gracia Join our newsletter to be notified when the newest Dirty Little Secret is available. I keep a checklist on my exit door (which is the door that leads into and out of my garage) of all the items I have to bring with me on the way out. I don’t leave until I am sure I have every item. This means I read what I need, make sure I have it, and then check the next item...carefully, one by one, and not in a rush. When I know I have something to bring that’s not normally on the list, I leave a sticky note on the door right next to the checklist...like “Bring cupcakes to school.” Dry cleaner tickets and such are always kept in my wallet, so I don’t arrive at the dry cleaner without them. Library books are kept in a tote bag hung on the exit door doorknob. Back to Dirty Little Secrets Index
