If I pack my lunch for work ahead of time I always forget it, any tips to help me remember it?!
Answers: I can't make it right before I go into work, there isn't enough time and since it needs to be refridgerated I can't leave it out where I will see it.... I know it sounds silly but I'm sick of making my lunch and forgetting it....
I always tend to do this as well before heading off to school. What I do to help myself is to set an alarm on my cell phone to about 5-10 minutes before I leave the house (because I always leave the house at a set time) and so when it goes off, I'll remember to take it.
Another thing I think you can do is write it on your wrist/arm in marker/Sharpie the night before. A little weird, but it'll help you remember when you pick up your toothbrush in the morning.
Post-its works if you bring some sort of bag to work too. You can write a reminder on it and put it on the bag (make sure the bag is face up). Just remember to, you know, take the post-it off before you leave. Haha.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
reminder on your windshield
Put a "post it" on your mirror.
Put your car keys on top of your lunch sack.
Put it in the fridge with your keys in there on top. Or hang your keys on a hook on a hook on the fridge so you'll maybe remember it.
Put a note sticking up in your shoes. Put a note on your door attached some way to the knob. Put your keys in the refridgerator (unless it has the electronic key chain holder). Put the note by your clothes, jewelry, etc. Put a note sticking out of your wallet or purse. Put your lunchbox/bag in front of your door.
Put some kind of reminder right at the door you walk out of every morning. Like a shoe or umbrella so when you have to move it you will remember to go get your lunch. It works.
My husband does the same thing, so he puts a note in his hat with his keys etc,, right when he makes the lunch. As long as you put the note with the stuff you cant forget, you will be fine.
i put notes on my mirror, tv, and sometimes even the door to the garage to help me remember
Get up 15-30 min earlier and make your lunch then. Or use a small cooler lunch box with the frozen ice pack.
Put you keys in your lunch bag
That's why I make my lunch in the morning. I forget things too much! ;)
Leave yourself a note by your bed ....." Hey, Don't forget me !!! p.s. I'm in the fridge and might I add... you look lovely today.
I stick a chunk of paper sticking out of my purse... that way I think, why is that paper in my purse and then I remember... LUNCH!! Course, I live in Michigan and in the winter I just pack it and stick it in my car. SOOOOOO sick of winter.
I do two things.
I clip my car keys to my lunch bag with a carabiner that i use as a key chain to attach my keys to my purse.
Here is a pic of a form of a carabiner.

Except mine is spring loaded closer not screw closer.
You can find these in the jewelry department with the keychains at walmart or in the camping sections.
This way I cant leave without getting my keys AND lunch from the fridge.
I also leave a note on my garage door saying lunch and keys are in the fridge.
try putting your car keys in your lunch box or bag. you won't forget anymore, or try leaving a large note on the clothes your wearing to work . hope this helps p.s if you keep this up -you'll be on an diet instead.
