I do this all the time. Watches, rings, knives, pens, pencils, erasers, batteries, keys, wallets, rolls of film, library cards, credit cards, finger nail clippers, remotes (how those disappear, I have no idea), cans of shoe polish, and lately, those maddeningly small zip drives.
My solution?
Move.
Once every year or so, I pack everything up, put it all into (not so) neatly labeled boxes, and move. Things I didn’t even know I lost start popping up. I have a whole box full of office supplies, glasses, glasses cases, those cleaning rags… the list goes on. Anytime I need something, I go to the box and pull out what I need. No problem. I will use it a few times and POOF!. It will get lost, eventually and who cares? I will find it all again during the next move and put it into the box.
It is labeled “Worm Hole”
