Never lose items!
Set a designated place for your keys, wallet, purse/bag, phone, ext. and if you keep putting your items in the same place, you'll never be like "where is my ---?!?!"

Try creating a home for just ONE thing. About 3-4 years I set a specific place for my keys & purse. I put a pretty box, that is easy to open & close, near my garage door. Other family members sometimes use my pickup. After asking permission, they can easily find my keys. I put my purse by the side of my bed. I follow through with both items about 90% of the time. When I don’t, I get so stressed looking for my keys or purse and anxious about being late (again) I typically remember the next time. I haven’t yet been successful putting other items in their place, but I mostly control where I put my purse & keys. 👏🏽
I’m just so unorganized! It’s hard for me to even have “homes” for items
It's hard to get into a habit but once you do it a few times it helps a lot but auto pilot does get in the way, and being in a rush doesn't help but thank you for the comment :)
Except for when you zone out while doing stuff on autopilot 😊 Great advice regardless. I do this, and it saves me 80% of the time.
