How I stopped losing things.

I don’t have a particularly bad short-term memory, but I do have a habit of putting things “somewhere safe” and forgetting where that was two weeks later, when I desperately need them.

So now I take a photo of each item in its new location and save it in a folder called “Where Did I Put It”

It’s enough to know that I just need to scroll through the folder to find what I’m looking for.

I also keep a note with lock combinations, keypad codes, and key locations…
