Regardless of whether you're medicated/unmedicated, or altered/not altered or any combination of those?

For me, its my hat I like to wear to keep my hair out of my way and contained somewhat lol

Also my pajama shirt(s), no idea why but its been better recently since I moved the "clothes chair" from being the laundry basket in the bathroom (just hanging there) to a dedicated shelf in the closet 😅

My phone.

I often set it down in obscure spots and not in the 2-3 spots i expect it to be.

I've got two fixes that have helped me. The first is that I now have a bright folio case making it easier to spot. Black cases in the evening made it impossible. The second was Google home's "find my phone". From any room in my house, I tell it to find my phone and it'll call. Huge lifesaver.

smart watch with a "make my phone go bleep!" button....

Tile has a great find the phone feature last time I had them. You press the tile and it makes your phone alarm bloody murder haha.

Would it be workable to always only set it down in your pocket or maybe setup a place in each room where it only gets set down there if it has to be done so it narrows down the possibillities to like less than 10 places ?

The only issue with that is I also can never remember where I left my keys lol!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I have a basket perched on a shelt next to by the door that keys immediately go into before I take off my shoes. Keys do not go past the entrance room lol and when out go in a reserved pocket no matter whar
