For me, it's also putting something into my calendar (specific time) or to-do list (no specific deadline -- this is mostly for shopping and a second one for ideas). After that, if I think of something I try to do it right then if I can complete it or make measurable progress against it to avoid procrastination. Finally, physically putting things in places I can't ignore so I don't forget them (or a post-it in place, but that's more risky).

I will set things I need to bring with me right in front of the door so I cannot leave without picking them up

Yep. It only becomes a post-it if it's dangerous or needs to stay in the freezer until leaving or something

So true. There’s a post-it on my car key right now because I need to remember something in the fridge when I leave for work
