Use a fixed list of items with a done marker when the same set has to be completed every time and you keep asking yourself what you forgot. It tracks completeness, not history or comparison, so nothing gets rechecked from memory.

Example

On the fridge, a laminated Sunday-night list: pack Friday's permission form, confirm carpool week, check the gift closet, refill the two prescriptions. You tick four boxes instead of mentally rehearsing all four items 20 times across the week.
