No you won't "definitely won't forget this time"
Know thyself and set a timer. I don't allow myself to do stuff like that without setting an alarm.

Beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep,
What's that for, again?
Better turn it off
I’m gonna turn it off now, and get to it right away. Where does the burn smell come from?
"Why does it smell burnt? I am sure I set a timer!"

20 minutes later: silences timer because I’m too focused on something else.
2 days later: … crap.
"Guess I'm re-washing that load of laundry."
Don't you fucking call me out like that, dammit
Again...
"Hey Google, set a 20 min timer, 'drinks in the freezer'"
20 mins later Google will notify "Brinks the breezer" but hopefully that's enough to remind me.

I have graduated to even screwing up my timers. Now the timer doesn't get silenced until the thing it is timing gets accomplished. Unless I'm distracted and fail to use that rule, then it's back to square one of course.
Edit: whoops, two people already said basically this. Guess I'll leave it
I love when my timer goes off and I have no memory of setting it. Which critically important thing am I forgetting now?
Rule 1: set timers Rule 2: name ‘em
I usually press the "+1 minute" button and then the "pause" button. That way it stays in the tray of my phone and I'm too OCD to not get rid of it as soon as possible. Then of course you have to adhere to the rule of only removing the timer once you did what you set the timer for...

FUCK I put a snack in the freezer like... 5 days ago? And completely forgot about it until now
This will happen again I can't fetch it right now
Jo when you home buddy? Set a timer.
This. I put protein shakes in the freezer bc they taste better the colder they are. They aren't good though if you freeze them then let them thaw, so it's a pretty high risk game. I try to remember to set a 30 minute timer on my phone whenever I do it.

I’ve forgotten about thin mints in the freezer for so long that I had purchased another pack the next Girl Scout cookie season and only found them when I put newly purchased package in the freezer.
B and C. Nothing should be on Facebook.
I've learned the hard way (multiple times) that if beverage goes into freezer a timer of one hour MUST be set on my phone or smart speaker, because I gaslighted myself into believing it's illegal to put drinks in the freezer and if someone finds out I'll be arrested.
This is genius!!

Now try something in the oven.
YES, A TIMER IS NECESSARY!
Good thing my oven has an integrated timer. In fact, it won't work without setting the timer. Never thought about how much grief that must have saved me already.

That's why I always set a 1 hour timer. Or I will definitely forget.
Sometimes I set a timer and when it chimes I've already forget what it was for lol
On most smartphones you can give titles to timers.
instinctively silences timer without addressing what the timer was for
Neville?
Why the fuck did I set a timer?!
My phone lets me label timers. Get an app that can do that.
Bomb has been planted.
Get a drink with more alcohol in it. It will survive longer
Roughly 1 degree below 0°C per degree (percent) of alcohol is the rule of thumb I was taught
It's even faster to put it in ice water and the worst that can happen if you forget about it is your drink gets warm again.

I've been using the "kitchen timer" function on my microwave non-stop since I found it

I just stick it in a zip lock so if I forget about it there's no clean up
The 2 liter bottle of coke I once froze exploded with so much force that I found the freezer door open when I investigated the loud bang at 3am. No way a ziploc would contain that force.

Top-tier sentence right there. Very well written, it just keeps getting better (or worse, for you)
So many exploded cans and bottles in my youth but also the magic when you got it and your coke was in slushie form and then you added booze.
Chefs kiss
hey, there's nothing wrong with having an accidental sorbeit
Bonus points if it's contained in a pressurized aluminum can.
Expect: "What the heck was that boom?!"
I hope it was seltzer instead of soda.
Kid of a girl I was seeing years ago put a can of Coke in there, forgot about it, and the fucking can exploding blew the door of the freezer off somehow.
Obviously it won't work for cold drinks, but for warm drinks, I got my wife a few of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Ember-Temperature-Control-1-5-hr-Battery/dp/B0BHBTQB3X
She still forgets her drinks, but now when she finds them, they've usually maintained the desired temperature.
Man, I've done that so many times. Another one is, "I'll set this important object in this random place while I go do a side-errand. When I'm done I'm sure I will somehow remember where I left it, even though this has never worked before."
I'll remember because by the time I put it in there I'm close to dying of thirst, but still won't drink something at room temp. So forgetting and then remembering my crippling dehydration is generally a pretty good egg timer for it
