    I have this shitty ability that I remember better about where other people left something than where I left what I had in my hands.

      Actually me. I see someone set something down and my brain says, “when Bill asks where his wallet is, we’ll know where it’s at! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽”

      Bill never asks where his wallet is, and I don’t know where mine is.

      For me it’s, “I shouldn’t be doing this. I’ll never find it again. This is an awful place to put this,” as I commit to setting something down in the abyss.

    If you are putting something in a special place, SAY IT OUT LOUD while you are still looking at it. “I’m putting the screwdriver on this shelf.”

    You’ll still forget but you’ll feel extra dumb when you finally find it again.

    Protip: when you’re looking for something and you find it, don’t put it back where you found it. Put it in the first place you looked.
