I know there are some notepads that divers use but I was more hoping for something specifically for the shower that I could maybe stick to the wall like a waterproof whiteboard maybe? I’ve had no success searching online unfortunately.

    So many suggestions for putting your phone near the shower but outside of it… phones are waterproof now. I just bring my phone with me in the shower now, and use my notes app to write down anything I don’t want to forget. I was already using it for a shower checklist, since I find it pretty hard to function in the shower. Also doubles as a way to consistently clean my phone, which is a nice plus, I likely wouldn’t remember to specifically clean it very often otherwise.

    If your phone has a charge port plug, make sure to keep that in during the shower, if it doesn’t have a plug, keep the port oriented down, or you may have to wait a couple hours to be able to charge after. I’ve had my last couple phones in the shower hundreds of times now over the past 10 years, only had it happen twice where the charge port got too wet and had to dry before I could charge it, and neither time was when the battery was low enough for it to matter.

        Hypersensory Autism, in my case. But both are relatively common, so could be what it is in many peoples cases here. For me a shower is so much sensory input, I am basically forced introspective. Takes alot of willpower to keep awareness and move to the next thing on the checklist.

          That must be difficult. Glad you’ve found a solution to make it work, and I’m sorry things I take for granted are that big of an obstacle for others

            What a lovely human conversation this turned out to be. Hope you both have a great day 😁

        Unless the water at the bottom of your shower is several feet deep, the water pressure in a shower is gonna be nearly 0. You can leave the phone off most of the time, just have it there to jot something down. Ideally, you want it as unobtrusive as possible anyway since the whole point of thinking well in the shower is not having distractions.

        Mine just sits there on the checklist 99% of the time, and I just made the checklist in the same notes app, so I don’t even have to leave the app to write stuff down.
