Misplaced your keys, here's a quick solution...

I've often heard complaints from people that they misplaced their keys. Whether you're at home or in your workplace, you can discipline (don't be afraid of this word, it's not a bad word!) yourself to always be able to locate your keys. One tip for the home is, find a common area (e.g. hook near the door, bowl, countertop) where you can create a "home" for your keys. You will place your keys there each and every time you are not using them and you'll be amazed to see that they will "live" there until you need them again. It will encourage you and cut down on unnecessary stress. If you tend to misplace your work keys, go out and buy one of those large key-rings, like the ones you see at restaurants and gas stations. The key-ring will serve as a visual reminder to you. Also, in case you do leave it behind, you can put your name and office address on the back so it can be returned to you. So...be encouraged as you begin to develop this discipline into your daily routine. Got keys?

  1. Dear Cluttergal:
    I find this system works very well for me too...I have "diciplined" myself to walk pass the dining table where I am tempted to throw my keys and instead walk to the kitchen and hang them on the peg. It easily becomes a routine.
