Reply To: The agony of constantly losing things

Before I leave the house, I do a “pre-flight.”  Keys, knife – right pocket.  Wallet money – left pocket.  Cell phone – back pocket.   Do this before take off and upon landing.

Brownies go in the oven or water to boil – set timer on phone and return to back pocket.

Someone borrows knife – watch them like a border collie until you get it back.  Return to front right pocket.

I still have a problem with laying tools down in random places.  I’ll be working on something and walk in the house carrying some item and randomly lay it down somewhere on the way to the kitchen, get distracted and half hour later can’t find it.  I’m trying to be more conscience of doing this.  Perhaps a backpack would help.  I could just pitch whatever in the backpack.  When it gets full, go return things to their proper place.  Sounds like a good idea!  Someone try it and report back on how well it works.
