LPT: When unplugging a curling iron or turning off the oven, say what you are doing out loud. “I am unplugging the curling iron.” It brings your focus to the moment allowing you to remember later that you did, indeed, unplug that tool that could have burned your house down if left unattended.

LPT: Intrusive thoughts are a natural mechanism, often there to make sure you don’t don’t do the thing (like cross the center line in traffic). Acknowledge the thought as intrusive, what concern it brings up, and move on.
