Weird thing I do to keep from burning my house down. (self.adhdwomen)

When I am cooking, I have trained myself to set a timer for 10 minutes.

My rule for cooking is "don't leave the kitchen", but that isn't realistic. I wander without realizing. It's an issue. I've been in another room and the timer has gone off and I'm like,"Oh fuck!". I completely spaced it.

Anyway, when the timer goes, I set another timer for 10 minutes. Rinse and repeat until the stove is off.

Great tip! I basically do the same, and I love that Apple Watch’s timer feature has a repeat button whenever the timer goes off. My watch is always counting down when I’m cooking something.
