Finding mislaid things?

Question

This sounds so dumb but I always mislay stuff and I waste so much time looking for things!

Stuff like keys, purses and my phone.

The latest is the TV remote and I can't find it anywhere.

How can I stop being so forgetful and has anyone got tips for finding things? I HAVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE.

Answer 1

what i was told and it worked for me i hope it would work for you too!

Designate a place for everything that you lose!

like your keys!

have a table for keys or a hook to put keys and purse

the hard part is building that habit!

Even to this day  i NOTICE when i set it on the kitchen table instead of the table by the door!

but i have built that habit to keep the keys by the door only!  don't lay them down and if i do just lay them down and forget i don't reward myself ifi i do let them in the right place then i do a little reward!!  like i get a cupcake after dinner!  or what note!

Answer 2

i keep my purse, keys and phone in a large fruit bowl on the sideboard so that i always know where they are.

i also tend to keep things in certain places so that they are easy to find.

try down the side of the sofa or underneath it as it might of been kicked under, when looking for your control.

Answer 3

When you mislay something, try very HARD NOT TO STRESS over it! Stress over looking for something almost always guarantees not finding it.

As for the long haul, try to immediately put your items away where they belong as soon as you are done with them. I know, it sounds easier than said but it does work. It is the initial work to put things away that is hard, then it becomes old hat! Just find that designated area for each item and go for it!
