Today's new accommodation is a set of (crappy) shelves by my key hook next to the door so I can put stuff that needs to go to the car.
What's your new accommodation?

Not new, but my biggest one is physically placing things I need to remember in the path of my daily routine. Like if I need to remember to bring my laptop to work, I might put my computer mouse in my shoe.
Another one is moving things in stages. If I'm cleaning my living room and something needs to go upstairs, I'll just leave it on the stairs for the next time I go up. Otherwise I'm likely to get distracted when I get up there and forget to continue cleaning downstairs.
I also try to have multiples of things that I use in multiple rooms or places. Like a small trashcan in all my rooms so I don't have to go somewhere else to throw it away. It minimizes distractions and helps me stay focused on the current task.
Yes to stages!! If I try to do the thing immediately I will get lost in an inception of side quests. So I have tables in every room dedicated to "things that need to go in another place". Then when I'm going there, maybe I'll remember to grab one of them ๐
Yes to multiples of things in each room/my car!! Off the top of my head I can think of: phone chargers, cups of pens and scissors, fly swatter, fans, Chapstick, hair ties. If I have to move it, Ive lost it
