That's when I put the thing with my keys, so I'm forced to see it when I go to leave. Doesn't work when the thing I need to remember is refrigerated, though. (I forget to bring lunch so often, my work locker is full of back-up snacks.)

I'll put my keys on top of my lunch in the fridge, because then I can't leave without remembering my lunch.

The problem comes when I am going out of my mind looking for my keys, screaming that I'm going to be late, until I finally remember that I made lunch, and the keys are with it.

Late is momentary, whereas hangry can be all day. 😅

Your technique is my technique. For things that can't wait by the door, I use whatever object will jog my memory. Fork for lunch, helmet for bike, charging cable for devices, etc.
