All these are accurate for me except I’ve graduated the chair to an over-sized under-bed drawer, all my bills are automated, and I have a car that has a proximity key so it always stays in my pocket (and I wear the same pants for a couple weeks on end).
But yeah, those are just learned coping mechanisms.
Automated bills is a weird one for me. I absolutely know they’d be useful to keep me from forgetting important things, but I manage to talk myself out of it as I’d “lose awareness” of where my money goes.
I went from routinely missing to never. You absolutely should set that up.
I can relate on the losing awareness aspect. So, I also put them all on my calendar in red (recurring, of course) then switch to green with the title appended w/ “DONE” when I’ve paid it, or verified auto pay is scheduled.
Ooh, I like that! I can still maintain awareness but there’s no real penalties if I forget to for a day or few. Thanks, I think I’ll be setting that up today!

My chair is just 2 corners in my bedroom

… I need to stop making excuses, huh?
