If you have an iPhone, put your medications into the health app and set them as critical. Even if your phone is on silent, it will give you a notification sound to remind you if you didn’t log it. I would forget my Concerta every day without it.

A more subtle one. Get a bunch of bag clips (I used IKEA ones) then write the name of all the things you keep in the freezer (peas, sweetcorn, chips etc). You want 2 of each. Attach 1 to each bag in the freezer, open or closed. You also want a piece of string attached somewhere. When a bag is empty, put its clip on the string. Congratulations, you now have a shopping list. Once you restock, just attach the clips to the appropriate bags, before putting them away.
At least for my household, this seems to flow well. There are no hard steps, and an obvious flow to it. Unfortunately, I've yet to figure out how to extend it to canned food, but it works for any bagged foods (pasta etc)
I only own one type of sock. No more matching and worrying in the morning. Just grab two generic feet coverings and go.
I did this too, but it backfired horribly. I got like four packs of identical socks. But I guess two came from a different batch, because they feel different. So now I have to spend twice as much time pairing socks by feel, rather than simply being able to grab and go like I originally intended.
Oh. No. That sounds horrible.
Or, just pick two socks, without caring about matching them
It's fine if it's just colours. If there is a mismatch in length, or tightness, it messes with me more than I would like.
