Whenever I left home after making a cooked breakfast, I would worry that I'd left the gas on. I'd always have to go back and check, but of course the burner was off. I've fixed this by noticing that I have noticed that I've turned off the gas. Is there a common name for this pattern?
One technique I read somewhere is doing something unusual (like reciting a line from a song or rubbing both ears) while you do the thing you'll want to remember, so that you'll only need to ask yourself "Did I rub my ears?" instead of "Did I turn off the stove?"
