Default Need a solution for my car at the parking lot!

Hi everyone, most of us have the habit of forgetting something particular all the time. I always end up forgetting my car at the parking lot. I am somewhat not comfortable in saying this, but yes, there have been many instances like this with me and I can’t help myself out. I do remember to carry my iPhone with me but am helpless on the issue of my car. There might be someone like me who can answer my problems as to what do they do or would hope some good suggestions from you people so that I can be comfortable when finding my car in the lot.

Thanks in advance!

Write down the section you park in on a little piece of paper? If there are no section letters/number, write what store you parked in front of, any "landmarks" near your car, etc.

My dad used to put a styrofoam ball on top of the antenna on our 1976 Ford Country Squire wagon.

If I need to remember, I repeat it to myself as I'm walking out of the garage. Your memory will be as good as want it to be; it's mind over mind after all.

If there are distractions (date, colleague, etc) then just put it in your calendar or send yourself a text with the location.

I find that the worst part is remembering which staircase you use, especially if you use that particular garage often.

Get an alarm or keyless entry that makes a beep. If I can't find mine I just hit the unlock button and listen for the sound.
