Why do I always lose things and what can I do to keep from losing things?

There are a number of things you can do.One of the most powerful is, when you put something down or put it away, ask yourself this question: Where will I look for this when I need it? This simple question is deceptively powerful - what this means is you are attacking the "lost things" problem from the other side by putting items where you will search for them first.For leaving in the morning, I'd recommend an item to carry things in - such as briefcase, backpack, or purse - and putting your critical items in it. Then when you leave, everything will be there. Also put things in the night before if that is relevant.Also when visiting other's homes, I'd keep everything in your backpack or purse - then when you leave, just pick up your purse (or backpack) and its all there.

Everyone loses things once in a while. However, if it’s constant, there is a cause. One of the most common is ADD/ADHD. Others include short-term memory issues and eyesight problems. I am familiar with the ADD version.Instead of mindfully setting down your keys when you walk in, you just walk in. Your hand lays your keys down while your mind is doing other things. You don’t have a chance to plan ahead or place things sensibly. Similarly, when you leave, you don’t think about all the things you need to pick up.My kids remember things because they’re on ADD meds. I don’t. I remember things because I use a myriad of little tricks. I also forget stuff sometimes, but the tricks help.Sometimes, I make lists. When I bring extra stuff to work, I literally make a list like so: keys coffee cup laptop mouse purse My list includes the obvious stuff that I’m going to forget. I’ve also been known, upon finishing my coffee, to drop the coffee cup into my purse so I won’t forget it. Another little trick is to create a habit to always, always check for my phone. Getting groceries. Phone? Going to work. Phone? Walking across the room. Phone?There are gadgets for sale that track keys, phones, etc. I have seriously considered getting one, but the good ones are kind of pricey. They will even ring your bluetooth-enabled phone if you walk away without your tracked item.The more solutions you have, the better you will do.

Well, making a proper routine and making your mind more attentive in public places might help you. And if you lose something, you don't have to worry though. There are several websites on the internet which can keep a track of them. One such is http://lostyafound.in But, it is better to have an attentive mind. Make sure to read techniques of making it attentive online.

If we don't pay attention to what we're doing, we forget where we put things. I think we've all done that :) Try to stay more present when you set down the keys, etc. or have one spot for things and know where they go so you don't have to think about it :)

You probably have eyesight myopia . Short memory effected if you have eyesight problems . Check your eyesight .
