sweet or not

Could someone please tell me how I can make a pot of coffee, put creamer in my cup while I'm waiting, pour the coffee in the cup, and forget whether I put sugar (equal) in it yet or not - all in less than a minute?

Same with taking meds. 1 pill in the evening, every nite, and sometimes I can't remember whether I took it or not... or whether I was just thinking of taking it.

Is it because I do it regularly that the action just becomes second nature and not an event to remember?
weirdo.
