I would occasionally leave the house in the mornings, forgetting to put my refrigerated lunch in my bag. To remember something for the next day (keys, documents, etc.), I use an old/stale lipstick to write a one-word reminder on my bathroom or vanity mirror. While putting on my makeup, it jogs my memory, and I see to it as soon as I'm done doing my makeup and hair.
If you prepare a hot breakfast in the mornings, this tip can also remind you to make sure the stove is off before you leave the house. You can also tape a reminder note on your door knob, so that you will see it as you open your door to leave. Having the reminder on the door knob is especially good for keys.
