Ask Daryl – Your Professional Organizer: Finding lost things

Confusion Solution

How many times have we said, “I can’t find my keys?” or “Where did I put the remote?” Well, I would say a lot. Why does this happen? Did we just simply forget where we left them? Yep, that’s exactly what happened. We are in such a rush during our day that we drop and run resulting in memory loss.

It’s not that we are naturally forgetful, it’s just that we don’t put things where they belong in our hurry to get ready for the next moment. Most of the time, we can find those lost things, but there are times when it takes longer which leads to confusion and time loss.

I remember a time when I lost my keys while preparing to leave for a client’s home. I was running late and though I franticly searched, I was quickly running out of time. It finally came to the point when I was going to miss my appointment and it didn’t involve me alone because my associate was waiting for me to pick her up, as well. So, I called a locksmith and got access to my car and left. We made it being only a few minutes late, but in my panic, I spent $150 on keys. The job was a success. The client was happy, and I made it home at the end of the day without further incident.

Did I find my keys? Yes, they were on my bed where I had laid them down while getting ready to leave and during my search I had buried them under the covers. If I had put them away in their rightful place, I would have saved myself worry, frustration, and money.

Keep your things where they belong and think before you drop.

It’s as simple as that!
