Keeping Track Of Personal Items

How can I improve my ability to remember where I put my personal belongings?

First of all, set up a system where there is a place you keep your car keys or you keep your wallet. When you come into the house, just don't throw the keys anyplace. Have a place for everything, and everything in its place, so you know where to find it. You misplace your glasses. You take them off, and walk into another room, then think "Where are my glasses?" Your room isn't around. So, if you take your off glasses and you put them down, or put your car keys in a place they don't usually go, stop for about one, two, or three seconds at the most. Observe the table. Observe the location. You come back, think "Where are my car keys?" and the table will appear with the car keys where you left them, because you connected a visual picture in your mind. So, establish, slow it down, make connections, and of course try to keep everything in the place where it should be. A place for everything; everything in its place. Also, stop at the front door and think "Where am I going? Do I have everything with me? Check."

How can a routine help me locate missing items?

Having a routine can help you locate missing items. Your morning routine - getting your clothes together, getting your breakfast together - is done in a certain pattern. You're going from these established patterns and do it in a systematic way. If you're distracted by a phone call, after the phone call, go back to where you left off and go back to that routine. It's an over learned process that everyone should develop and probably has developed. Don't be distracted or don't let the distraction interrupt your memory, because you can actually go back to the last place that you left off and then continue.

How can I better remember personal items before leaving the house?

Remembering things before you leave your home is having this routine of knowing that you have to have certain items, and you know you're going to take your car keys, your briefcase. And in a systematic way go from one item to the other and get organized. And then don't rush because haste makes waste and also it can shorten your memory because if you're too much in a hurry, the stress and stress will cause…can block the mind and you can forget something back in the home. And so keep in mind, slow it down, get organized, and you'll be in better shape.
