Gamechanger for me was automation with home assistant. I attached sensors everywhere and wrote scripts that nag me with notifications on my phone. For example I have a smart wall plug where the washer is attached to. If the power draw first rises over a threshold it means, that I started the washer. If it goes below a theeshold that means it's finished and it sends a notification. To make sure I don't ignore it, I attached a door/window sensor to the washer's door. So it reminds me every 5 minutes until I open that fucking door.
And I tried to identify as many situations like these as possible so it takes care of reminding me. It's not perfect and many things are not feasible to automate. But it helps me a lot!
