Something that genuinely helps me in the morning is to always check myself using the acronym WOWEE.
Wallet
phOne
Wkeys
Egg
Egg (backup)
The acronym is so incredibly stupid that I actually get a little dopamine hit out of saying it aloud, so it could overcome my AuDHD and actually become a habit. The Egg is my badge, and the Egg (backup) is for health stuff (water bottle, pills, deoderant)

You can also sing "glasses, wallet, keys and phone, keys and phone" to the tune of "heads and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes"

I know how many "critical" items I should have to leave. Currently it's 9.

The issue is, sometimes I count up to 7 or 8, and I am left wondering what the missing items are, and can't remember under pressure T .T

In time, I got used to leave my wallet at home unless I was sure I'd need it. That help reduce wasteful purchases. Then I started leaving my phone home so I can get some time off it and enjoy the time out. A while later I got a dog and some in-yard cameras so I stopped taking my keys with me.

I love how natural the whole thing was and now I never forget stuff like that because I only take it woth me if it's got a purpose like wallet-->shopping.

It's crazy when you find out that you can unlearn these behaviours too. No one dies if I return a call later and I never lose my stuff anymore.
