Wait! Are You Forgetting Something?

Everyday, it's the same routine. We wake up, take a shower, have a quick bite of breakfast or pick up some coffee when we are on our way to work.

When we are in a hurry to leave home, there are certain things that we generally misplace or can't find at the last minute. Searching for them again becomes a task.

When we feel annoyed and hopeless, we think that we will organise things for the next day. But, this formula never works.

A research has revealed that misplacing keys or phones and other important things happens due to the cognitive lapses. This is a failure in our working system.

This does not mean that everyday forgetfulness is a sign of a serious medical condition like Alzheimer's disease or dementia. To avoid this, we must make sure that we are well organised.

Losing things can be very irritating and yet we are a forgetful set of people. So, check out the list of common things that we forget almost every day.

Essentials Like Keys, Wallets, Phones, Etc
We all often forget these essential things like keys, wallet, purse and phone. Trying to find them at the last moment can be quite annoying. Instead, place them at one designated position.

To Throw The Trash
We are often in a hurry when we step out of our house. In this hurry, we forget about the trash left in our dustbin. We realise it when we are welcomed with a smelly aura when we get back home.

Unplugging Appliances
There are so many times that we head back home just to check if the appliances are unplugged. It is good if we remember and have a check at these much before. Else there can be chances of it catching fire or a short circuit, especially if it is an iron box.

Medicines
When we're in a hurry, we forget to take our medicines on time and often end up skipping them. This way, we even risk our health. A simple way to avoid this is to carry a small medicine kit along with you in your bag.

Clothes Sticker
In an excitement to go out in our new attire, we forget to take out the tags and stickers that are there on our newly bought clothes. Most of the times, this can be an embarrassing situation. So, make sure that the tags are removed properly before you step out!
