Thank you so much for your email. We have key hooks, we have a mail/bill basket. He has a sectioned jewelry box for  his watch, cuff links, etc. Yet, I find his keys in the cracks of the couch, his watch in a bowl in the living room and cuff links sitting on the plate in the kitchen. He gets so frustrated when he misplaces/loses things, but he is so distracted at times that he even forgets that he now has places for things that would help minimize him losing things. Some times things get lost when he isnt home, but on a business trip, which is even worse, bc then the item is really gone forever. Any other suggestions or advice? 🙂

Thank you!

Thank you so much for your quick response.

When I try to suggest things to him, he sometimes gets frustrated bc in his mind, he has already thought about that suggestion. We do have hooks for keys, a basket for mail and bills other things, he has a sectioned out mens jewelry box for his cuff links, watch, etc, but I will still find his keys sitting on the couch, his watch sitting in a bowl on the living room table, etc. It’s like he forgets that he has to put things in their proper place or he gets so distracted that he forgets these things that will help him.

The kindle was left on an airplane (I wasn’t with him) and now he thinks he lost his cuff links on another business trip (I wasn’t with him).

When we leave the house, I always ask if he has his phone, wallet, ID, etc. and he gets frustrated that I am asking him these questions, when I am only trying to avoid being somewhere and him realizing that he forgot something.

So, do I back off and let him find his way? Or do I just keep doing what I am doing by trying to be his back up in putting his things away or finding his things, and constantly asking if he has everything?

Thank you!
