I have a "punch every item" list for going out of my work building through the stairs, with the minimal necessary to be sure I can get back through the elevators and I have my belongings locked.

I do point and call a recipe ingredients when I try to cook. I would love to make a point and call routine for packing travel bags, but their 3D nature makes it hard.

I have a little "dance," slap left-pocket (key / clip), slap right-pocket (phone, wallet), slap left-pocket again (double check keys), slap right-knee-pocket (knife). I should throw in a foot slap to make folks think I'm doing a Schuhplattler on my way out the door.

You must have a nice spice shelf. I have 30+ spices in a narrow cabinet. Finding the right 4 is a chore unto itself.

Spectacles, testicles, wallet, watch! :)

I didn't even keep a list for that -- it was easier to keep a number. There were three things I needed to remember.
