When getting ready for the day, I put everything I'm going to use on the bathroom counter and put things away as I use each item, that way I don't forget to do something.

I check the mail and take out the trash / pull the bins up every day when I get home from work. I used to forget often, but making it a "do it every time" thing has made it a no-brainer.

I keep a reusable water bottle on my night stand, in the kitchen, in my car, and on my desk at work. I can't be bothered to carry a water bottle everywhere, so I have them everywhere. I do almost the same thing with phone chargers.

Similar to your bathroom tip, when cooking, I get out all the things I need and then either put ingredients away as I go or at least move them to a different part of the counter to indicate it's already in there.
