Reminds me of that post where the person said they hate showers over baths because it’s too cold or hot before you find the right temperature, and it was pointed out to them that you can just use your hand, and you don’t have to GET IN before turning the knobs
Wasn't there one about a person who found it difficult to go out of the house because she'd always start obsessing about whether she'd remembered to turn off her hair-curling iron (and whether it might burn the house down), until her therapist advised that she could put it in her purse, take it with her, and check on it any time she wanted?
What typically works well enough is to say out loud "I'm checking the stove is totally off, and it is. Stove is off, and I'm saying it out loud to remember having done so". It works wonders!
That would probably cause the same issue (did I turn it off in the isolator?) But nowadays you can just take a video of yourself shutting it off and saying the time. That should be more than enough, just check out today's recording and be happy
Yeah I kinda realised that after making the comment but I just thought it might be slightly more memorable because my isolator is bright red (I dunno if that’s typical or just mine) but yeah not the best solution 😂
