I've loked the front door, got in the car and then wondered if I locked the front door, gone back, checked it, got back in the car, then wondered if I really check it right
It's usually around that point that I tell myself to "get a grip"! lol.

My Mother's compulsion is her bed, IT HAS TO BE MADE IMMEDIATELY. She can't function if the bed isn't made. She's taken to sleeping on top of the cover, with a quilt over her as a blanket (Dad too) and that has to be folded or straightened right away.
My brother is a cleaner. All those punches and slaps I took from him growing up now make more sense. He's been caught on his hands and knees straightening the tassles on the rugs in his house.
I'm a hand washer. NOT ALWAYS, but at times in my life when I am stressed and seem to be out of control of my environment, I was my hands. Sometimes as much as four times an hour.

Because I've "gone back to check" sooooo many times - when I read the following, I thought it was cool. It really has helped me:
When you lock your door (or whatever) - concentrate on that one motion, really watch your hand - which uses your eyes.
Say outloud & expressively - "I am locking the front door." - which uses your speech.
Listen carefully and mentally agree "The door is locked." -which uses your ears.
By using three senses at once - it helps solidify the action in your brain so that your memory will take hold. This is for the everyday kinda forgetfullness, however.
I've found when I use the above method, my stupid return trips to where ever are cut down greatly. But then, I must remember to remind myself to use this system.
