Honestly every other day is still a LOT. Shampoo your hair when it gets greasy, no sooner. The grease glands on your head will calm the fuck down after a while.
Uh... Can I ask more about hair? I try to wash my hair once a week, but it currently gets greasy after about 5 days (day 6 and 7 I wear headbands). If I wash it on day 5, do you think I'll eventually make it to 7 days easily, or do I need to power through?
5 days isn't going to work. It has to be every other day or every 7 days, as I can't keep track otherwise! Wash it when it's greasy doesn't work for me either 🤷 I'm not intuitive.

It doesn't even have to be hidden away, the thing you aren't remembering or even do occasionally remember to do could be in the middle of your living room.
Add water. Rinse and repeat. Literally.
thanks, added shampoo to my shopping list lmao
I feel seen
Sorry, we'll all give you some more privacy.
I literally always have a second item on hand. The second I open something, I immediately add it toy grocery list. This gives me a lot of time to remember.
Place the squeezed bottle on the fringe, so you remember before you get in your next shower.
You skipped a few steps. First, throw the bottle out of the shower on to the floor so that you see it when you get out. Then, see the bottle on the floor when you get out and remember why it's there. Now, place that bottle somewhere to remind yourself to buy more. Lastly, realize that you forgot to wash your junk because of that whole empty bottle situation while eating lunch and smelling funk.
Dam are you me?
Who did - Why did I put an empty bottle of shampoo in the car? Oh yeah...

the empty jar of Noxzema that's been sitting on the edge of my bathtub for two weeks would like a word
Where'd i put that?
I thought this was standard forgetfulness
only if it happens occasionally! If it's every single time and you don't wash your hair for several days, repeatedly, then it's probably ADHD and an issue that needs to be dealt with.
Hmm...
I really should get tested but I keep forgetting.
That's another nail in the coffin.
Oh well, at least it works to my advantage when I don't remember to bring work with me home to ponder.
