Okay so, I am terribly (and i mean TERRIBLY) absentminded, and it's always worse if i'm stressed or in a rush. The things that are normally first to go, are the things that should be last, which is taking care of myself. So i am making a list that i guess is a little personal but, darn it, if i write it here i'll loose it on my desk!
These are mostly "me" things, the few that aren't are ones that give me little "havens" of sanity, which is about me even if it's cleaning.
