My recommendation is a small thing: a trashcan with a swinging lid!

Covers the trash, reduces smells, will prevent trash tetris (sometimes), and very good instead of foot-pedal opening trash cans or trash cans put in a cupboard.

Another thing are toothbrush holders that stick to mirrors. Might jog that memory of needing to brush your teeth!

Wall-mounted keyholder by your door, too. Anything I put on a flat surface will eventually be lost or covered with more junk & papers. My keys are WALL-ONLY!!!

What item(s) have helped you with your struggles?

    I have a rule of holding my keys in view while closing the door. Haven’t had a single incident since. That said, that is a nifty way of doing it, I imagine my cat would play with the keys hanging out of the lock.

      I always touch my keys, wallet, then phone when closing my apartment door or leaving a friend’s house. Having the keys in hand isn’t quite enough for me to feel comfortable.
