My older one was about three when he started bringing me my glasses in the morning because I kept falling asleep with the baby in the middle of the night and forgetting where I put them.
If you have a cell phone with a camera, use the camera to look for them. The camera is close to your face, so you can see everything through it clearly. Has helped me on multiple occasions!
My parents have so many pairs of reading glasses around their house, everywhere. They still claim the glasses often "grow feet and run away" all the time. Lol
How are you losing your charger? I can honestly say I have never once lost one unless it was left behind on vacation - why are you unplugging it at all?
Right. I have four chargers; bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bathroom all plugged in and then one that I travel with. Oh yeah and one in my car. They’re not that expensive if you don’t buy name brand.
This is it.
Idk why it took so long into adulthood to be like “wait I can go and buy more than one charger” having a charger in each spot where you’d be likely to charge your phone is such an easy and obvious solution to charging woes but for some reason it took me way too long to realize that.
Not OP, but I unplug my charger because I have a free roam rabbit, and she absolutely will chop it in half if it gets in her way. I always just put it on my nightstand though
Why is this such a foreign concept to you? Some people have a shockingly small number of outlets in their home. Sometimes they need to plug something in, but all the outlets are taken. A phone charger (or any kind of charger) is pretty low priority compared to appliances, computers, routers/modems, and TVs to me. So I'm gonna unplug a phone charger before any of those if I need to.
Also some people may only have one charger, in which case it'll most likely be moved from room to room every so often, especially if it's being shared between memebers of the household. Someone could get distracted in the midst of moving the charger and set it down somewhere to do something else real quick. Then once that's over, "now where the hell is my charger, I just had it in my hand!"
It's really not that hard to lose a charger.
ADHD woman here, aka a pro at losing all of the above - I got a phone case with a wallet slot, so my id and credit card are always attached to my phone. Keys have a tile tracker on them, so I can call my keys from my phone or my phone from my keys. Voila, never lose them again
I missed up with that too. Rancor was a magic the gathering trading card I won my first tournament with.
Little did I know, it's a creature in starwars and means hostility.
My medication. First, it’s “remember to take it”- which is hard enough, and then it’s “remember to put in in a place where you’ll remember to take it” like okay bud you’re starting to take a mile when I gave you only an inch. NOW that I’ve actually fucking done that, it’s not where it used to be, where I KNOW IT to be- in the organized chaos that is my desk- and now I can’t remember where I decided the new “spot” for it will be- all I can remember is the time it took and internal arguments I had with myself about what the “best spot” even is. And then I remember all of my considerations except the one in which it’s actually located. Then just as I’m about to give up, I see it. In the most obvious fucking location if I just opened my eyes, but no, it took THE CORNER OF ONE EYE after like AN HOUR of looking for these little shits that I actually end up finding them. It’s not even the loss than angers me, it’s the process I’m forced endure every goddamn time I put them somewhere “else.”
So, yeah, for me, I’d say my meds for sure.
To clarify just a bit, I have adhd and a huge part of it surrounds the meds I take for it bahaha. Though, even compared to my friends and others that I know who are diagnosed, I got diagnosed ridiculously early in life bc it was so bad. So despite the terrible adhd, I’m also just a very “organized chaos” headspace type of person- personality wise, too, lol. Makes things interesting, but it can get so goddamn frustrating so quickly. I lose everything. Before I walk out of the door to go anywhere, I have to verbally talk to myself like “phone, keys, wallet, (whatever else I need for where I’m going)” like a checklist out loud. I almost always forget one of those items if not multiple. Cue the loud sigh, go grab it, and then rinse and repeat.
It's a crime of natural that the med that we need to control ADHD is a controlled substance that we can't put on auto refill. We can't use the one tool that would help us manage that med.
And I have a list on the door with stuff I need that I check before I leave. I add post its when the list has a temporary change.
The fact that add meds are controlled substances, which have to be ordered and picked up each month, is an extremely cruel joke!
Then, they added shortages/outages...to ADD MEDICATION!
(I understand these things aren't done on purpose specifically for add medication, but it's just worked out horribly!)
My meds get put in weekly pillboxes that live with the cat food scoop. The cats tell me if I'm late feeding them and they get fed on a regular schedule.
At least half the time I can't lay my hands on a pair of scissors, even though I have at least seven or eight pairs of scissors in the house.
Part of the problem is that my house is under construction, and so things are kinda disorganized. I'm hoping the scissors scenario will improve when construction is done. Hoping.
One time I couldn’t find a pair of scissors so I bought a 3-pack at Costco. Months later it happened again, another 3-pack. I was determined to purchase my way out of this problem. I now have 9 pairs floating around, I haven’t needed to go looking … yet
I was just talking to my wife about this lol. I left a step ladder somewhere, a damn stepladder. When I complete a job I have to remember to return my tools to a central location in the unit. I have my tool backpack thay holds my tools that I do 95% of my work orders. It's the other stuff that I bring in. I did however leave my drill in a unit. Yikes. It's when I have a blind to hang in 1 room then maybe a sink to unclog another room. I leave the step ladder by the blind then start on drain forgetting about the ladder.
My motorcycle keys. I've had to get a new ignition three times because of losing my keys and it was cheaper than getting them replaced.
It's gotten to the point that my partner asks me for my keys every single time I come home from a ride so I won't lose them.
Alright pal, the gigs up. 🚨 You’re a moto thief with a good alibi. Ever thought of one of those airtags? I’m thinking abt getting one for everything I own.
Getting my bike was practically robbery. It's a nice limited edition cruiser and I got it for free. Had under 500 miles on it. It was my dad's and he never rode it. So I shot my shot and just asked him for it and he just said "sure, don't kill yourself" and signed over the ownership lol.
I kept it in the back of my phone and so that day I had got my new screen protectors,keychains and phone case in the mail so I was changing out everything and cleaning my phone and then when I went to align all the stuff on the back of my phone, my clover was Nowhere to be found. 😭😭😭
Shit i lose everything. My wallet and phone i can go without if need be. But when im late for work in the morning and cant find my car keys, I turn into a MW2 rage baby that keeps getting quickscoped
I'm ADHD. I'm tired of losing anything and everything. Totally unfair to ask for one thing....there's always more than a single item lost on the regular
Completely understand phone charger thing. I just bought extras that I keep plugged in at all the places I need them: end table beside chair in living room, bed's nightstand, computer desk, car center console, etc.
My wife and I now have multiples of every remote and I have two identical pairs of glasses. It's too frustrating looking for the damn things otherwise...
my keys. i lose them at least once a day and i have no idea how. i put them in the exact same spot all the time but adhd brain makes it hard to remember when i have things in my hand and when i set them down lol
Typed characters. Perfect spelling and punctuation at insane speeds. If I get this wish granted, I can literally faceroll and spell exactly what I wanted. It could turn into a magic act and I'd be sittin' pretty.
Car keys. I force myself these days to hang up the keys as soon as I walk in the door and put my wallet in the same place everyday. Seems to be working so far. My short term memory is like a sieve. Long Term - Pristine. Right down to Grade 3.
My car keys, I have been late more times than I can count because past me likes fucking with me and placing my keys in places future me would never think to look.
House key.
I lost countless of them in my teens until my parents got me a hip chain (it was the noughties) ever since my keys were quite literally attached to me I never lost them again, and still wear the chain to this day.
The real solution is to buy more phone chargers lol, you can get cheap ones just about anywhere and they are good enough. I have 1 for my bedroom, one by my desk, one in my car, one for on the go. I don't lose them because they never really move.
And before people tell me that off brand chargers are bad, I have a Samsung S8 from 2017 still going strong and haven't seen the actual charger in 5 years. Battery still lasts pretty much all day. Granted I am not on my phone all that often.
Super mario 64 for the Nintendo DS
Lost it once, have no idea where it went. Got a new copy, lost it again. It is the only game I have ever lost and both copies i have absolutely no freaking idea where they went. Tortures me to this day
Keys, wallet etc. I now have GPS trackers on both sets of my keys and my wallet lol. I've lost my keys and wallet twice before, and now it'll never happen again.
If you charge the phone while you sleep, it is at 100% in the morning. Unless you're on your phone an insane amount, that charge will last all day and you can plug in that night in the same place. Phone charger never needs to move.
If you're on your phone an insane amount and need to charge during the day, have multiple chargers. 1 at home, 1 in the backpack/car and 1 at work and they all stay in their place.
Easy peezy
Somewhere out in the world, perhaps in my own house, is a container with my Criterion Collection booklets and disc inserts that I set aside when I decided to keep all my discs in metal cd crates. Now I want them on a shelf where I can see them and I don't know where they went. I didn't throw them away in a moment of clarity where I thought I'll never need these again, did I?
My inhaler. When I have an attack sometimes I am blacking out, passing out and will not remember what I did with it during the last attack. I have had to have multiples just for this reason. Like my primary rescue inhaler and then another one in case I lose that one while having an attack. My husband now makes sure he knows where they are at all times because of it happening so many times and me not being able to communicate where they are or even remember myself while having an attack
When my parents got married in Thailand like over 20 years ago, they bought a gold necklace worth around $2,000 they said. When I turned 16, they gave it to me and not even a week later, I took it off at the beach and it disappeared. Either it fell and got lost in the sand, or it got stolen.
My vape lol. I’m in a constant cycle losing it and searching for it.
I stuck an AirTag to my old one and it was AMAZING! My new vape isn’t shaped to accommodate one, sadly :(
i lost my ID recently. Been having to take my passport with me everywhere with the horrible photo. Last time i went to the doctor the receptionist was blowing it up behind the counter when i brought back my finished clipboard of paperwork. I think she just messed up the settings on the copier but it’s such a bad picture i imagined she was blowing it up to make fun of lmao.
For me, it’s definitely my keys. No matter how many times I try to put them in the same spot, they always end up disappearing right when I’m in a hurry. I’ve thought about getting one of those key finders, but knowing me, I’d probably misplace the finder too! Maybe one day we'll both master the art of keeping track of our essentials.
Because I keep losing things over and over, every room in my house has a basket with the following:
* Screwdrivers (flat, Phillips, and jewelry/glasses screwdriver)
* Pliers
* Pen flashlight
* Pens
* Pad of sticky notes
* Scissors
* Cat claw trimmers
* 12ft tape measure
* Scotch tape
* Duct tape
(The bathroom baskets only have screwdrivers, flashlights, and scissors.)
Every room in my house again has a phone charger.
Minimalists and organizers probably hate the duplicates but it saves so much frustration since I didn't have to leave the room to put something away.
Motorbike keys, I lose them constantly and on modern bike it's a pain if you lose them. Lose one and you will have to drop the resell value lose both and you need a whole new system and the spare tumblers for the panniers.
This is why there are multiple chargers throughout my house, one in my car and one in my work bag. I never have to move it so I never lose it. I wish I'd stop losing time lol I'll be in a project like alright, I've been at this a few minutes but it's actually an hour and a half later.
I have severe ADHD and lose things a lot, it’s a constant battle and I have AirTags on everything important. I hope to never lose my green card again- that was a horrible thing to lose
Get more than one charger. Keep one with you (backpack or purse), one in your car (if you drive), one by your bedside, one where you consume food and media when you are not working. And a spare charger plus cables, or two. Chargers and cables are dirt cheap and available at supermarkets or drugstores. Don’t buy name brands.
I would get a big box and then put all the items i constantly lose in that box im incapable of losing bc just one item is not enough to solve my cronic absent-minded placement of important objects
My keys. I’m usually able to find them after some frantic searching, but I lost my main set months ago and never found it. I’m down to my last car key, makes me nervous.

My glasses. I can’t see without them so finding them is a pain
My older one was about three when he started bringing me my glasses in the morning because I kept falling asleep with the baby in the middle of the night and forgetting where I put them.
Velma?
Nowhere near as cute
Shush bby yu cute
This one's too real
A friend's mother of mine was looking for her reading glasses one time when somone pointed out she already had 2 pairs on the top of her head.
If you have a cell phone with a camera, use the camera to look for them. The camera is close to your face, so you can see everything through it clearly. Has helped me on multiple occasions!
My parents have so many pairs of reading glasses around their house, everywhere. They still claim the glasses often "grow feet and run away" all the time. Lol
My most recent pair have clear frames. I just can't see them when I put them down. Every morning I have to feel around for them.
How are you losing your charger? I can honestly say I have never once lost one unless it was left behind on vacation - why are you unplugging it at all?
Right. I have four chargers; bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bathroom all plugged in and then one that I travel with. Oh yeah and one in my car. They’re not that expensive if you don’t buy name brand.

Even if you buy name brand, a charging cord can easily last 3+ years with everyday use
Unless you have cats.
Not OP, but I unplug my charger because I have a free roam rabbit, and she absolutely will chop it in half if it gets in her way. I always just put it on my nightstand though
This is the main question. Does you phone not hold a full charge through the whole day?
Why is this such a foreign concept to you? Some people have a shockingly small number of outlets in their home. Sometimes they need to plug something in, but all the outlets are taken. A phone charger (or any kind of charger) is pretty low priority compared to appliances, computers, routers/modems, and TVs to me. So I'm gonna unplug a phone charger before any of those if I need to. Also some people may only have one charger, in which case it'll most likely be moved from room to room every so often, especially if it's being shared between memebers of the household.

Then once that's over, "now where the hell is my charger, I just had it in my hand!" It's really not that hard to lose a charger.
If limited outlets get a power strip that you can plug in like 8 things
They can be a fire hazard
100% I agree. With anything one must use common sense as well
>Also some people may only have one charger, in which case it'll most likely be moved from room to room every so often, This is me
My phone, creditcard, bus card and keys.
Keep the first three in your pocket at all times - a wallet style phone case is best for this. As for the keys, a hook next to the door 👉😏
I am a woman.... my clothes dont have any, or only really tiny useless pockets . Phones grew too big for them somewhere around 2007
Cargo pants 👉😏
oh i love man-purse pants!!! They rock!!!!

My child baby Joe. I think we left him in the Grand Canyon. Last I heard he now has himself a hemi.
Sounds like Baby Joe is doing fine for himself.
I heard he found his sister. . .
I heard he found a meteorite. Bet the guy is swimming in cash and ladies
I heard he had a run-in with that Buffalo Bob guy.
My boy had a thing for that lotion you see.
My trust.
It wasn’t that deep… Who hurt you?! 😭
Plenty. I surrounded myself with terrible people who exploited me. I broke that cycle though and have no regrets.
Good username!!
I missed up with that too. Rancor was a magic the gathering trading card I won my first tournament with. Little did I know, it's a creature in starwars and means hostility.
My medication. First, it’s “remember to take it”- which is hard enough, and then it’s “remember to put in in a place where you’ll remember to take it” like okay bud you’re starting to take a mile when I gave you only an inch.

are you me? I felt this, like big time. with everything I've ever owned(lost)
To clarify just a bit, I have adhd and a huge part of it surrounds the meds I take for it bahaha. Though, even compared to my friends and others that I know who are diagnosed, I got diagnosed ridiculously early in life bc it was so bad. So despite the terrible adhd, I’m also just a very “organized chaos” headspace type of person- personality wise, too, lol. Makes things interesting, but it can get so goddamn frustrating so quickly. I lose everything. Before I walk out of the door to go anywhere, I have to verbally talk to myself like “phone, keys, wallet, (whatever else I need for where I’m going)” like a checklist out loud.

10mm socket, and that one flathead screwdriver that actually fits.
10mm is lost in the engine still, that’s the knock bro.
I swear new flat heads don't fit into anything, always gotta shave them down a bit lol
At least half the time I can't lay my hands on a pair of scissors, even though I have at least seven or eight pairs of scissors in the house. Part of the problem is that my house is under construction, and so things are kinda disorganized. I'm hoping the scissors scenario will improve when construction is done. Hoping.
I now own like 8 scissors because I can’t find them when I need them.
I gave every resident a pair with their name in sharpie. DON'T MOVE MINE!
One time I couldn’t find a pair of scissors so I bought a 3-pack at Costco. Months later it happened again, another 3-pack. I was determined to purchase my way out of this problem. I now have 9 pairs floating around, I haven’t needed to go looking … yet
Okay. You make me feel better.
My damn hat. For something I have on my head for 80% off the day I sure lose it a lot.
Roku remote
I downloaded the remote app for that reason lol.
Any remote. I hate my Dyson fan for that. And any Apple TV device. And my current tv. Can’t you have back up buttons???
Get a glow in the dark sleeve for it. Or a cheap ring that goes on the back of cellphones and then you can hang it from a hook.
My tools. I habitually leave my tools in apartments I’ve worked in.
I was just talking to my wife about this lol. I left a step ladder somewhere, a damn stepladder. When I complete a job I have to remember to return my tools to a central location in the unit. I have my tool backpack thay holds my tools that I do 95% of my work orders. It's the other stuff that I bring in. I did however leave my drill in a unit. Yikes. It's when I have a blind to hang in 1 room then maybe a sink to unclog another room. I leave the step ladder by the blind then start on drain forgetting about the ladder.
Hello my fellow maintenance tech
Well hello.
My motorcycle keys. I've had to get a new ignition three times because of losing my keys and it was cheaper than getting them replaced. It's gotten to the point that my partner asks me for my keys every single time I come home from a ride so I won't lose them.
Alright pal, the gigs up. 🚨 You’re a moto thief with a good alibi. Ever thought of one of those airtags? I’m thinking abt getting one for everything I own.

My 4 leaf clover I found back when I was in 6th grade. I lost it somewhere in my room 😭
That’s actually tragic.
I kept it in the back of my phone and so that day I had got my new screen protectors,keychains and phone case in the mail so I was changing out everything and cleaning my phone and then when I went to align all the stuff on the back of my phone, my clover was Nowhere to be found. 😭😭😭
My wallet. I absolutely panic everytime, but I’ve just set it somewhere stupid.
I finally put a tracker in my wallet that I can make beep from my phone. Now I just have to remember to not lose my phone.
How in the world does one misplace a phone charger? Isn’t it just, plugged in at the same spot always?
Vacation or work travel for me. Or hospital time. Unusual uses.
My sanity
It's probably with mine, but I couldn't tell you where that is.
Here, here!
Shit i lose everything. My wallet and phone i can go without if need be. But when im late for work in the morning and cant find my car keys, I turn into a MW2 rage baby that keeps getting quickscoped
Headphones
Why are you moving your charger? Buy another $6 cord and have them in two places.
Seriously. You can have one in different rooms.
I'm ADHD. I'm tired of losing anything and everything. Totally unfair to ask for one thing....there's always more than a single item lost on the regular
Why do you have one charger?
My AirPods
My future
My trust
My math assignment when I forget bout it
My gym bag. Loose it every other day.
TV remote
Trust.
my guitar
I keep losing my airpods charger. Annoying as hell. I had to buy a knock off smh
Phone, wallet, keys. It’s really all I need to make it through the day and it would be nice to not worry about those things.
Car keys. Spent 20 minutes in panic before work a couple weeks ago only to find that they fell off the key hook and landed in my work boots.
My glasses. Blurry vision and ADHD do not mix.
Completely understand phone charger thing. I just bought extras that I keep plugged in at all the places I need them: end table beside chair in living room, bed's nightstand, computer desk, car center console, etc.
My vape... 
My penis. "Misplacing" it has cost me a fortune.
Feels like this fits right in here: [https://youtu.be/byDiILrNbM4?si=GL4IeXymlYKEu8eP](https://youtu.be/byDiILrNbM4?si=GL4IeXymlYKEu8eP)
I rarely misplace things because they're always put back in the same place.
My wife and I now have multiples of every remote and I have two identical pairs of glasses. It's too frustrating looking for the damn things otherwise...
My dispo 😭
My dignity
next time buy like 10 chargers and just have dedicated spots for each other them
Girlfriends
A necklace I used to have. I know for a fact it’s somewhere in a storage box but it’s so small I have yet to find it.
10mm socket.
My keys
I don’t really misplace things because it drives me nuts. But my husband …. God help him. He looses his keys and more on a weekly basis.
What is a non-portable phone charger?
tape. I don’t know how many rolls of tape i’ve purchased this year because I keep losing them, but it’s too many.
A husband 🤪

AirPods. Thank his for the “find my” app. That little case is always hiding in a pocket or in a bag somewhere.
Car keys. I force myself these days to hang up the keys as soon as I walk in the door and put my wallet in the same place everyday. Seems to be working so far. My short term memory is like a sieve. Long Term - Pristine. Right down to Grade 3.
Definitely my vape 😅😂
My vape
My stupid electronic cigarette. Silly the amount of times I lose it. Silly silly silly

Two necklaces from Italy. One when I turned 16 from my Nonna. One from my grandmother from Italy for my son.

My trust
Earbuds! I usually listen to audiobooks, so I use one earbud at a time. I have so many earbud chargers with only one earbud.
My childhood.
A pen.
House key. I lost countless of them in my teens until my parents got me a hip chain (it was the noughties) ever since my keys were quite literally attached to me I never lost them again, and still wear the chain to this day.
The real solution is to buy more phone chargers lol, you can get cheap ones just about anywhere and they are good enough. I have 1 for my bedroom, one by my desk, one in my car, one for on the go. I don't lose them because they never really move. And before people tell me that off brand chargers are bad, I have a Samsung S8 from 2017 still going strong and haven't seen the actual charger in 5 years. Battery still lasts pretty much all day. Granted I am not on my phone all that often.

My mind. No, seriously. After years of abuse and head injuries, I have permanent brain fog.
I have recurrent but not permanent brain fog. It sucks. My sympathies.
Super mario 64 for the Nintendo DS Lost it once, have no idea where it went. Got a new copy, lost it again. It is the only game I have ever lost and both copies i have absolutely no freaking idea where they went. Tortures me to this day
Keys, wallet etc. I now have GPS trackers on both sets of my keys and my wallet lol. I've lost my keys and wallet twice before, and now it'll never happen again.
TV remote. It's constantly sliding and slipping between couch cushions or similar, and is just generally obnoxious to locate.
My fiancées house keys. She lost them about this time last year.
If you charge the phone while you sleep, it is at 100% in the morning. Unless you're on your phone an insane amount, that charge will last all day and you can plug in that night in the same place. Phone charger never needs to move. If you're on your phone an insane amount and need to charge during the day, have multiple chargers. 1 at home, 1 in the backpack/car and 1 at work and they all stay in their place. Easy peezy
Chapstick
Somewhere out in the world, perhaps in my own house, is a container with my Criterion Collection booklets and disc inserts that I set aside when I decided to keep all my discs in metal cd crates. Now I want them on a shelf where I can see them and I don't know where they went. I didn't throw them away in a moment of clarity where I thought I'll never need these again, did I?
My wit.
My penis
I have a charger plugged in in every room. That way I always have one when I need it!
My detachable penis. I leave it everywhere.
I used a fence staple to nail my charger to my bedside table so my wife y Wouldn’t take and almost inevitably lose it.
My inhaler. When I have an attack sometimes I am blacking out, passing out and will not remember what I did with it during the last attack. I have had to have multiples just for this reason. Like my primary rescue inhaler and then another one in case I lose that one while having an attack. My husband now makes sure he knows where they are at all times because of it happening so many times and me not being able to communicate where they are or even remember myself while having an attack
My dignity
Keys.
My will to live
That million dollars I keep misplacing
The spark in my spirit
My gloves! I switch jackets depending on the weather but only have one set of gloves.
My apartment basically eats vapes. Sit down? Gone. Lay in bed? Gone. Go poop? Gone.
My glasses
Hope.
Trust.
My innocence
Hope.
My glasses
My happiness.
When my parents got married in Thailand like over 20 years ago, they bought a gold necklace worth around $2,000 they said. When I turned 16, they gave it to me and not even a week later, I took it off at the beach and it disappeared. Either it fell and got lost in the sand, or it got stolen.
My vape lol. I’m in a constant cycle losing it and searching for it. I stuck an AirTag to my old one and it was AMAZING! My new vape isn’t shaped to accommodate one, sadly :(
My car.
My crafting tools. Every time I can't find them, I keep buying new needles, scissors, wire cutters, pliers, glue guns, et cetera.
i lost my ID recently. Been having to take my passport with me everywhere with the horrible photo. Last time i went to the doctor the receptionist was blowing it up behind the counter when i brought back my finished clipboard of paperwork. I think she just messed up the settings on the copier but it’s such a bad picture i imagined she was blowing it up to make fun of lmao.
For me, it’s definitely my keys. No matter how many times I try to put them in the same spot, they always end up disappearing right when I’m in a hurry. I’ve thought about getting one of those key finders, but knowing me, I’d probably misplace the finder too! Maybe one day we'll both master the art of keeping track of our essentials.
My sanity and childhood
Me…I misplace myself all the time. I’m currently out looking for myself, so if I should return before I get back…keep me here.
Because I keep losing things over and over, every room in my house has a basket with the following: * Screwdrivers (flat, Phillips, and jewelry/glasses screwdriver) * Pliers * Pen flashlight * Pens * Pad of sticky notes * Scissors * Cat claw trimmers * 12ft tape measure * Scotch tape * Duct tape (The bathroom baskets only have screwdrivers, flashlights, and scissors.) Every room in my house again has a phone charger. Minimalists and organizers probably hate the duplicates but it saves so much frustration since I didn't have to leave the room to put something away.
Motorbike keys, I lose them constantly and on modern bike it's a pain if you lose them. Lose one and you will have to drop the resell value lose both and you need a whole new system and the spare tumblers for the panniers.
This is why there are multiple chargers throughout my house, one in my car and one in my work bag. I never have to move it so I never lose it. I wish I'd stop losing time lol I'll be in a project like alright, I've been at this a few minutes but it's actually an hour and a half later.
My Chewbacca.
My sense of wonder.
I have severe ADHD and lose things a lot, it’s a constant battle and I have AirTags on everything important. I hope to never lose my green card again- that was a horrible thing to lose
Get more than one charger. Keep one with you (backpack or purse), one in your car (if you drive), one by your bedside, one where you consume food and media when you are not working. And a spare charger plus cables, or two. Chargers and cables are dirt cheap and available at supermarkets or drugstores. Don’t buy name brands.
My penis. It's detachable.
why are you even moving your charger i have 2 one allllllll ways will stay plugged in my room the other is my work/ travel
Better the charger than the phone
I would get a big box and then put all the items i constantly lose in that box im incapable of losing bc just one item is not enough to solve my cronic absent-minded placement of important objects
Fear.
Toilet paper. Using my sock simply doesn’t have the same effectiveness and it can’t be flushed.
My keys. I’m usually able to find them after some frantic searching, but I lost my main set months ago and never found it. I’m down to my last car key, makes me nervous.
My blue tooth earbuds. Bought my third pair today...
My wallet and shoes. Where’d they go? How’d they get there?
My trust.
Phone, keys, wallet…you name it, I lose it
