I leave things, and then can't find them. It may be over here or over there, or in here or in that drawer. ...
Here is the trick......6 step approach. (NO, you do not have to read a book, and this ain't costing anything, so do not blame me if it does not work...)
Step 1. Try as best as you can to keep surfaces clean..We have all kinds of surfaces in our places, and if you can
keep them clean, and empty of stuff, then you have a better chance of finding it.
Step 2. Once you have as many clean surfaces that you can manage. please try to keep those surfaces clean
and clutter free.
Step 3. You got a thing and it is important, you want to use it again soon, or it is important to know where it is.
.............So, you place it on one of the clean surfaces, where you can see it and say to yourself..This is
.............is where the stapler is. Look at it. Walk away.
Step 4 Now when you look for the stapler that staples papers together, you look around to those surfaces and ,you know where you put it.
Step 5.. You are looking for the stapler, and don't know where you put it, you look at the surfaces where stuff is, and there is the stapler.
Step 6...If you are sure you are concentrating, on that item, perhaps you can put the thing in a drawer, and say to yourself. I put the stapler in that drawer in the kitchen. or I am putting it on that surface over there.

I know, you don't think this one will work..OK. I understand..Sounds kind of silly. But, if you have an important note, or thing, and you don't have enough time to put it away, putting that note or thing in a place that is easy to see will save a lot of time. Of course, things do have their place in drawers and closets, yes, this is for people like me who are in a rush, and don't want to put it away,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
...THEN PUT IT SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU CAN SEE THAT THING. PUT IT AWAY LATER IN A PLACE WHERE YOU ARE SURE YOU WILL FIND IT, LIKE IN A CORRECT DRAWER OR CLOSET.
Guess what? That is it and that is all. What the hell am I doing up on the computer at 3:27am my time, Central Time..???? talking about loosing and finding stuff...

= new reply since forum marked as read
Everything in it’s place.
Organize and put stuff back where it was and they will likely be there when you want them again.
