I've gone specifically for milk, one item lists are pretty easy to memorize. The problem is coming back home with only one item.

100% this, my wife makes a menu for the week on Monday then creates a list from that in Apple Reminders that I use to shop from. She knows if it isn’t on the list it isn't going to be in the bag I bring home. Even hand writing a list is better than trying to memorize one, anything to take that mental load off in a place designed to make you over buy on stuff you don’t need will help.

It's always bacon though

Me, about once a month. "It's only 3 things, not worth writing down, I've got this"

Narrator: he didn't got this.

I also use Anylist, its great for my partner and i to both add things to. I have added custom categories and named them after each aisle name and what items are there for my regular grocery store. So as i work down the list i am moving along the store and there is very minimal backtracking or going down aisles i dont need to. It has both streamlined my grocery shopping and also cut down on impulse buying crap.

I like loading the machine and letting it do its job.

I loathe unloading and folding and putting shit away neatly.

I managed to make myself a nice breakfast. As a reward I took a moderate amount of LSD and am about to indulge in some weed.

This is reminding me - I need to pay the bill from my psychiatrist. But they're closed right now... Can someone repost this tomorrow during business hours, maybe I'll see it then?

Whenever I think about not having checked the mail in a while, I get paranoid about possibly missing an important tax form or something. Like the letter will say, "Please reply by {some day a months ago}" and it's some important shit I forgot about. Makes me run to the box.

You wrote "task" but you meant "torture technique", right?

You have to take it out and put it on the drying rack too.

Also, the drying rack is already full.
