My example: rinsing spicy sauces and peppers off in my sink so the spiciness aerosolizes and I realize when it makes me cough. Every. Damn. Time.

    Misplacing my house keys. I always swear I will start putting them “always in the same place”, but i never do, and it’s been now some decades I have my own house keys, that I scramble to find them every time I get out the door.

      Same, until I got a pouch to store the keys, multi-tool, pen, and mini notepad in a single package. Now it’s kinda like a wallet for all of the non-wallet things.

      My keys, like my wallet, always stay in my pants pocket. This only fails on rare occasions that I forget to transfer my pocket contents when changing pants.

      BTW, I’m someone who has a serious problem losing things because i set them down without thinking about it. Any task requiring numerous tools takes me twice as long as a normal person because I spend half my time hunting for the tool I just used a minute ago.

      I think the only reason I rarely lose my wallet or keys is because I have internalized that I DON’T ever set them down.

      Same. I have had to buy a Tile device so I can buzz my keys from my phone. Game changer.

      You could install a little hook by the door and use that. The effort to put the hook up might encourage you to use it.

        Once I build a cardboard key holder with the same thought in mind, I spend a couple of hours on it. Still remember its existence only once a week.
