Denial always comes First ;) Don‘t worry, It’s a Gift. Say you‘re highly gifted!
(Btw german autocorrect is Crazy. It does Not allow me to Write „denial“ - which becomes „Daniel“ or „highly“ - which becomes „Highway“, and changes every other Word into Capital letters. That is worth a conspiracy theory, i would say!)
The damn wallet is between the seat and the door. Your lighter is behind the steering wheel. Your cell phone is somewhere waiting for the wife to call it. Yup it’s under towel in the bathroom.
I keep reading your jokes but I'm writing a comment for the first time. This was really really interesting :)
I think it happens to everyone after a certain age. I mostly use strategy 1: Narration, every time I cross my kitchen door to bring something from my refrigerator.
This is certainly interesting.. I can definitely see examples of it in others and in my life. It doesn’t always happen with any door I’ve known though. If one were to explore this theory further, I think it might come to light that the percentile you have assigned to certain doors may be different to other people, and may even fluctuate with your.
The idea needs more data. Keep logging. You can get a push button tracking app, click it when you go through doors. See how many times in a day. A week, etc. see if those numbers seem to matter.
Seriously, how much do you drink a day? (Water I mean) Forgetfulness is a sign of dehydration - in winter with central heating on, it is easy to become dehydrated ;o)
"You're travelling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!"
Maybe this phenomenon is an incomplete part of human evolutionary development. Over 400,000 years we have swung down from the trees, lived on the savannas in grass shelters, graduated to caves, then to single room mud huts. Most humans have probably lived in multi room houses for less than 4,000 years and many still don’t.
Looked at from this perspective, maybe the disorientation of transition from one room to another is the Grik the caveman in us all going “Ohmigod, it’s another room!”
In german we say: geil 🤣🤣
My friend,
It's adhd
Oh no. I’m not adhd that’s for sure 😬

Thanks for making my day!
You’re welcome. Glad I could help 😀
Same here. I’m a coder, not a cider.
My autocorrect is way better recently.
I think I still figured that out 😂
😂 at least, as a cider, you would have better taste... ;)
(In german that would have a double meaning... does that work in english?)
I don’t think there’s a double meaning for cider
Very amusing but helpful as well. I shall be deploying some of those strategies when I remember to do so.
Do it before you walk through the doorway. Afterwards …… you’ll forget you ever read this Substack note 😂

Life is so confusing 😀
Life is as life does.

well thank you for commenting and laso for reading my stuff. I really appreciate your support.

There’s a thought there’s all this talk of AI being so good at coding, maybe it can code an app that does what you suggest 🤔🤔
You can by an LTC card for about $10. It’ll pair with your phone, and give you extremely precise tracking. In one were interesting that sort of thing.
Tracking to where though. I don’t want to find out I’ve been secretly transported to a planet in another galaxy 😂
Hah. Hard to say. As Vonnegut’s Billy Pilgrim might say, “So it goes…”
Why am I here? I have that issue as well, albeit in a mild form:

I stare at the door and it is saying sorry for causing all that trouble.
Sounds like yours has a conscience 😀
😀
😄
I’ve tried strategy one and I’m pleased to announce that I get easily distracted by shiny objects and it doesn’t work for me 🤭
I’ve always been enamoured by shiny objects 😀

*passes a nice cuppa
I try to drink quite a lot. But probably too many coffees though 😀
Nor I.
👍😀
Loren's (husband) first wish for Christmas: a tee shirt that says "At my age 'getting lucky' means remembering why I walked into a room."
🤣🤣🤣😅😂😝 Good one Brad!
I wouldn’t mind wearing one like that 😂
Didn't you just make this post? 🤔
Had me going for a second there. A momentary panic 😂
LOLOL
