I have a neat trick. I say “if I were a me, where would I have put this?”
I don’t remember where things belong, but I know immediately that I would put vitamins in the cabinet, on the counter, on the table, or in a travel bag. There’s basically nowhere else I’d put them unless something very unusual happened, so then I’d look to see if they fell from one of these places
Sometimes in the span of ten seconds.
I setup a camera in my workshop just because of this… now instead of spending time looking everywhere I’m looking on the footage to see where did I have the thing last time
Are you joking? Does that actually work?
just if I don’t leave the workshop with the thing 😅 but at least I know I don’t have to look for it in here

Beg your pardon?
Look for something else instead, you’ll have to move the original thing to try find the new thing.
What if I’m in a hurry and only need my wallet?
I solved that problem by putting it in my bag. If only I wouldn’t forget to take my bag with all the stuff I mustn’t forget…working on that one. Currently it’s dangling at the doorknob.
