Forgetting your stuff at home

An ADHD thing I've always had problems with is forgetting half my important stuff (money, keys, phone, ect) at home because I had to remember to bring something else too or because I was late.

What I'll be talking about:

1. Why putting it in temporary places doesn't work for me.

2. How I got the idea and what the idea is.

3. What I keep in that bag

4. My solution, how I worked it and some more experiences I've had with it.

5. TLDR for people that dont wanna hear my ramble

1. Why putting it in temporary places doesn't work for me.

Having your wallet or other things in the pockets of your pants might be convenient but sadly I have more then one (1) pair of pants and to search for my stuff every morning that I decide to wear a different ones, is not something I will remember.

And so I've got an easy and actually pretty simple way to prevent that.

2. How I got the idea and what the idea is

It's a bit inspired by my mom, who has all her stuff in her bagpack that she takes everywhere and pretty much never uses a different one.

But because I still go to school (so i have a schoolbag) and I have to decide on the outfit what bag I wear, I had to do this a bit differently.

So I, too, got a bag that I would always wear when going out. It's not a bagpack tho, its is similar to a fannybag, and I wear it on my hip.

In that bag (I lovely call it my everything bag, because I have pretty much everything imaginable in it) is a bunch of stuff that I do need pretty much everytime I go out, just as stuff that maybe I could use sometimes.

3. What I keep in that bag

As an example;

things I need constantly in the bag: Wallet, Keys, Headphones (in ear), Phone (it's not constantly in the bag, but it has a designated place for if I need to put it away)

now, things I keep in my bag that i only need sometimes: brush and mirror combination, my meds and painkillers, eyeliner, pocketknife and multifunction tool, lipbalm, hand cream, one (1) fidget toy

And lastly things I keep in there that I pretty much never use but still wanna keep on hand: usb stick (for school just in case [I have one in my schoolbag too, dont ask]), five (5) lighters (I dont smoke [they were all gifts]), padlock (mostly for if I need a locker at school), magnet (I stole it for a dentist office and it is my treasure), allen key, wrench

4. My solution, how I worked it, and some more experiences I've had with it

So basically my tip to not forgetting your stuff at home is putting it in a bag to always take with you, but what I'd like to make more clear is, use a small bag so you can still wear a back- or shoulderbag when you have to bring more stuff with you.

Get a cool or pretty bag that could count as an accessory and doesn't look out of place. Mine as multiple pockets and places on the outside to which I could clip things when I need to. Some of those places have accessories on them, sometimes I use them for a small waterbottle to hang from and I've got a carabiner on one of the for possible bigger things and in case I need a carabiner. Basically, just have fun with it.

'Course, I still sometimes forget the bag, and then I dont have anything on me (very bad, thankfully doesn't happen often), but that happens a lot less frequently. Since I dont have to worry about forgetting my keys, wallet and stuff, i can use that brain capacity to remember other things (like to bring that school project with me or the birthday gift for the birthday party im going to [has definitely happend before and was very late cus I had to go back to get it])

Somethings that I can't forget, like my ticket or some stuff that i could need, should I forget my bag, I keep in my phone case because forgetting my half pretty much never happens.

5. TLDR:

Because I kept forgetting stuff like my wallet and keys at home, I got myself a small bag that I wear on my hip where all those things are in and stay in at all times. I still sometimes forget the bag, but it happens a lot less frequently.

hey btw if you're in the USA at  2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.

if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.

additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.

i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."

"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.

i really do think there’s a huge disconnect on here w/ people who have never used tiktok as to what it actually is and who actually uses it. the number of people i’ve seen call it a “teen dancing app” is actually insane. it has not been a teen dancing app since i was in high school, around 2016 - 2020. the main communities i saw on a daily basis were 1) black history/anti-racism educators, 2) high school & college teachers sharing in-classroom strategies and frustrations with the education system, 3) local/state political leaders giving real-time updates on behind-the-scenes government decisions, & 4) community activism & leadership. like tiktok is an adult platform. almost every person i interacted with was my age or older. and yes it completely depends on your fyp and how you interact with the app, yes there’s still teenagers and dance videos and literally anything else you can think of. but these communities of adults aren’t insubstantial at all, they have literally millions of interactions on a daily basis. there’s about a million other types of communities that i could name just off the top of my head, because the range of users was SO diverse and thriving. it’s a long-distance community tool, just like any other social media—and honestly much better than any other social media, because it relies primarily on the kindness of strangers. i saw at least 5-10 videos today of queer people in rural areas panicking because they don’t have any access to queer community on any other platform or in real life. and before i end this i do want to say i think tiktok is coming back, i think this is a highly orchestrated political move, etc., but i do know it won’t ever be exactly the same. people are panicking about free speech violations because tiktok was a place where people fucking SPEAK. i have never seen mass mobilization and communication in this same way for as long as i’ve been alive. it is the people’s app, not just a silly teenage thing. if you’re not on tiktok and never have been, please stop talking about it like you know anything at all😭
