Things You'll Need:
- Keys
- Wallet
- Cell Phone
-
Step 1
Choose a spot near your front door or in the front entrance hall. One end of the table is a good place or a key rack or counter.
-
Step 2
Clear off that special spot of the random other things that have collected there, such as paper, expired coupons and other clutter.
-
Step 3
Place your wallet, keys and cell phone in this spot and always set them there. Do not just drop them wherever you happen to be standing or behind your bed or under your desk. When you walk in the front door, set the items in this spot. If you walk around with your phone, put it back in that spot when you are done.
-
Step 4
When you are ready to walk out the door the important things are ready for you. It may take several tries to get used to doing it.
-
Step 5
If you catch yourself setting them down in some random spot, quickly go place them in the right spot. Remember that it takes 30 days to make a habit.

on 9/8/2009 Some things are more difficult to (habit-ize?) than others. Really important operations like changing underwear or bathing at least once per month carry their own reminders, or are obvious to friends or family...who will remind us..lol.

on 9/5/2009 Sure, just leave all those very important things right by the front door, where a thief can find them quickly. LOL A better choice is to have this assigned spot on the night table beside your bed. That way, if your house is on fire in the middle of the night, you can grab those important things and get out the window, rather than have them melt in the fire. You can call 911 once you're out of the house that way too.

on 9/3/2009 These are good tips. I try to keep those things in the same spot. The secret is to try not to get distracted.
