In such trying moments I like to direct my friends to the next logical line of inquiry.
Worth it
Fuckin waaaay worth it
Amazingly true.
Sometimes in the span of ten seconds.
Look for something else instead, you’ll have to move the original thing to try find the new thing.
What if I’m in a hurry and only need my wallet?
I solved that problem by putting it in my bag. If only I wouldn’t forget to take my bag with all the stuff I mustn’t forget…working on that one. Currently it’s dangling at the doorknob.
I don’t have a wallet anymore, just a flipbook cover on my phone with bank cards and a little cash stashed inside.
Good for you
Don’t lose your wallet then, easy fix!
…that’s how i find nouns in my head…
I setup a camera in my workshop just because of this… now instead of spending time looking everywhere I’m looking on the footage to see where did I have the thing last time
Are you joking? Does that actually work?
just if I don’t leave the workshop with the thing 😅 but at least I know I don’t have to look for it in here
Clean the house. Put important things on THIS bookshelf. Wait, maybe it was this one. Wait, maybe it was…
What usually works (when I remember to do it) is imagining a grenade going off wherever I put the thing down.
Irony: I clicked this post twice in two minutes even though the thumbnail is clearly recognizable
I have a neat trick. I say “if I were a me, where would I have put this?”
I don’t remember where things belong, but I know immediately that I would put vitamins in the cabinet, on the counter, on the table, or in a travel bag. There’s basically nowhere else I’d put them unless something very unusual happened, so then I’d look to see if they fell from one of these places
Page markers and a label gun will become your best friend. That and a personal journal you struggle to write in because you never memorized spelling. Yes, I’m looking at you.

Great, another thing I’ll use for two days and then forget it exists. Also: I’m not gonna label my keys.

Beg your pardon?
I put neon tape on stuff that I’m likely to lose. That includes my label gun, my wallet, my phone, etc… It helps remember the tasks I’m trying to complete. Also, I never assumed it was a personal issue. Did your teacher not lose patience with you and stop teaching things that required time? That was my experience.
