Sometimes, after dropping Jethro off at the creche, I worry that I didn’t actually take him to creche. I worry that, instead of taking him, I just left him at home in his cot and then drove directly to work.
It is disconcerting.

This kind of mental concern occurs when you are preoccupied instead of paying attention to what you are doing.
Many people are unaware as they go through life. So of course, they doubt what they did or did not do. Did we lock the door, turn off the oven? … and so on.
The solution is to reduce your anxious thoughts and pay attention to what you really are doing. Then you will have a clear memory of doing it. Your body never forgets what it did. Relaxation really helps with this problem.

What you suggest sounds very similar to Buddhist techniques. I’m aware of these — just a little out of practice at the moment.
