I’ve started taking photos of wherever I’ve put something important away for “safety”, because I always end up forgetting otherwise. I have a special folder in my gallery for this.
I’m at a point where I don’t remember where I put things, I just know myself well enough to guess where I would put them
I’ve lived long enough to know that I need to have a system of: a place for everything and everything in its place.
… Now if I could only implement that, that’d be great…
Because I have ADHD, I have to designate special places for everything to keep them from disappearing.
They still disappear anyway. I don’t fucking get why.
Drives me crazy.
My hypothesis is that they hide. So I saturate all the hiding places so they have nowhere left to hide.
When I buy something known for liking to hide, I buy N of them and place them all in a designated “I’ve got N of these things” place (P). Then I put 1 in its home. When it hides, I get its replacement. When that hides, same again. When there are none left in P, I buy N more. Eventually they have nowhere left to hide and finding one is easy. Consequently, they stop hiding.
Sometimes I swear I must have spacial blindness. I can check an area 7 times and not see the thing I’m looking for even though it’s there.
…I found it. You left it in Antarctica.
There should be a small sliver saying “in my hand (I’m not aware of that)”
Where are my glasses?!?
On your face.
I regularly wear safety glasses, and regularly put them up on my forehead when finishing a task. There are regularly already a pair of glasses up there when I put the ones I’m wearing up.
Having more than one copy of a tool is bad for me, because it allows me to not find it before grabbing the backup. The plus side is that once I’ve lost all the primary copies, I have to pay attention again because I only have one copy left.
