Because we live in an age where real morals have been lost sight of, since deterministic faith in the correctness of any authority has been lost sight of ( thanks, Post Modernism ! ), people are scrambling to fabricate the authority of whatever they can grab nearest them ( since we all need a compass, even if it's just a finger drawing in the sand ) -- so it works to be prepared that you live in a world where someone else's subjective interpretation of their own offence taken at whatever they select, and the fallacy they delude themselves with that such offence makes them a fake victim of some fabricated "wrong", which they make to therefore mean that they are "right", does, they believe, afford them, what passes for moral value, these days. And, mostly, this incorrect belief, passes the smell test, and "seems legit", in contemporary discourse. As long as you claim you have been offended, you are fucking-completely-morally-right, so long as you can own the narrative on why you're a bigger victim than any other contenders for the crown of self-appointed righteous one. Welcome to the Age of the Biggest Fake Victim. Of course, the real evil starts when these self proclaimed victims use their self-anointed righteous status ( face-painted on themselves in the authority-skeptical moral vacuum of the present ), to pretend to justify whatever ways they try to harm others. Wait, are we talking about terrorists who pretend they are full fake-justified, because, of course, they are victims of the West's oppression -- or were we talking about just some fake-left liberal arts student at Cornell who's claiming to have been permanently damaged by whatever "offensive" idea their professor happened to raise in class? Or is that propensity to anoint the self proclaimed "offended fake victim" the status of "moral mother superior" really the same evil unworkable force behind both of these apparitions? You decide, dear reader. #CoddlingOfTheAmericanMind, #FakeVictimClaimingAbusesRealVictims

And this just in from an alternate moral universe: another reason to not kill a human: asset depreciation.
Actually when you think about it -- the punitive nature of criminal law, and the "punishing" price correction of asset depreciation -- kind of in the same boat incentive wise. The sad thing is that human society seems to need punishments to try to encourage people to not kill people, rather than not killing people because of an intimate appreciation of the inherent value of every human life.
- Somewhat counter intuitively, it works to fund soft subjects like politics, sociology and governance -- because humans have the capacity to create physical technologies we don't have the social technologies to be able to use without a loss of social harmony. This capacity gap is an important opportunity for vigorous research and invention of new social & governance technologies, which don't just include things like digital forms, and also encompass the notions behind the ways we organize and talk about our societies and their purpose. Without funding to advance the conceptual basis of governance and society, the alternative is to rely on advanced military power to provide a guarantee of stability, which is also necessary, and in the long term alone insufficient to create the kind of societies it works to create.
- Military technology, because hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and protect what's valuable.
- Alternative propulsion, because everything depends on transportation networks. The faster we can turn space transport from "horse and carriage" through "steam age" to "high speed rail", the faster we create more wealth -- to fund everything else.
You have an ATM? How do you lose an automatic teller machine?
I always found the best way to remember sentences words was to reduce them into words, and the best way to remember those words? Reduce them into letters.
At other times, humans felt rhythm and rhyme made memorizing easier. Like the Odyssey. Apparently, that was passed down orally. Yep, orally.
For remembering physical actions, I've heard some people are genius at "kinesthetic" intelligence ( like dancers, who can watch someone do a complex sequence of moves, once, then flawlessly replicate it )...But I think that for physical things like the ones your mention forgetting, some kind of physical "re-enactment", or ritualised, habitual, "dance", something rhythmic. Maybe make a groovy little number, a dance routine, that you go through as you breeze through your place depositing or collecting your keys.

For me...I always keep wallet, phone, keys, in their own pockets in my jeans. Simple.
I have good solid skills in JS, Python and databases. I’m looking for a place that's moving fast, where I'll learn new things. Tho I have a preference for remote, I wouldn't say no to onsite if everything else worked. I'm pretty much a generalist, and am interested in learning something more specific.
Prediction - A crazy shift back toward server side apps.
Explanation - Everyone thinks tech trend is all about shifting more power to the device. In fact, what's gonna happen is devices are gonna be batteries, screens and wifi, nothing else. The CPU power is gonna shift back to where it's most efficiently provisioned: in the cloud. Basically we'll just be VLCing into all these super smooth apps over 9G connections. Obviously this won't happen until Apple unveils it's next gen transparent devices, but there'll be hints of it in web dev in the year ahead, a natural reaction against framework and toolage bloatware, which see the thin-client-becomes-thick-client trend decidedly swing back toward the thin clients again. Eventually the clients are totally gonna disappear.
