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

In such trying moments I like to direct my friends to the next logical line of inquiry.

Amazingly true.

Sometimes in the span of ten seconds.

Clean the house. Put important things on THIS bookshelf. Wait, maybe it was this one. Wait, maybe it was....

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?

[–] zout@fedia.io 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't have a wallet anymore, just a flipbook cover on my phone with bank cards and a little cash stashed inside.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 days ago

Good for you

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.

Don't lose your wallet then, easy fix!

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

[–] AceBonobo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

Irony: I clicked this post twice in two minutes even though the thumbnail is clearly recognizable

What usually works (when I remember to do it) is imagining a grenade going off wherever I put the thing down.

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 me 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.

I'd bounce between subjects and ask too many questions. It helped me learn a lot, but it took a lot of time from other students.

Are we just doing memes, or do we all actually have the same thing?

Edit: I'm being too sassy. Im a little drunk.
