The extra importance you’re placing on just thinking about it now is enough to remember it later. No further action required.
Say you won’t remember the title, and use that as an excuse to write down the name in a note-taking app on your smartphone you downloaded for just that purpose.
Put something on the handle, exactly where you open the door. You will hopefully associate this with the need to close it after. Far-future suggestion: If changing kitchens, put the fridge by the entrance/exit. You will see the open fridge on the way out.
Write it down. Or, remember as much as you can, then when you’re not certain stop and ask someone else.
Have one note card that has the key points you want to address, with a couple of important supports. Practice the speech a few times, improving most of it while sticking to the main points on the notecard.
Every hour, test yourself on what your ID is. Set a reminder in a calendar. You’ll have it memorized in a day, and it will be solidified by all the times you have to repeat it after.
Keep a notebook by your nightstand with a pencil. You honestly don’t need light to write a quick reminder, and you can scratch down a reminder in a few minutes.
This night isn’t much timing, and you can try to cram the same way as the ID number. If you have a week or two, anki decks.
your numbering is out of whack there. Markdown doesn’t let you do lists starting at arbitrary numbers, so as soon as you started using the right format, it started your numbering again at 1.

This certainly wouldn’t work for some people I know, although it does for me. Have enough thoughts of extra importance on things you should remember, and you might confuse them?
Any people for who this would fail? Why do you think it would?
It would almost certainly fail for me. I seem to store stuff like this just fine, which I believe because the information will often come to me when I don’t need it, but I’m no good at retrieving it at will just because it’s somewhere in my brain.
Thanks for answering, but I don’t fully understand your explanation. I think some relevant part is missing. Why isn’t all information just somewhere in your brain? What makes this type of information different?
I know I have memories stored too that I can’t always recall and have them pop up randomly, but I haven’t identified any particular type of memory more difficult to recall than others. Many times I’ve wondered whether I locked the door and the memory never pops up, ever, so I guess I fail to store the memory in the first place.
