How to Stop Losing Your Keys, Cell Phone and Wallet

The important things--keys, wallet and cell phone--often seem to get left behind whenever we leave the house. Here are some tips and tricks on how to stop doing this.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Keys
• Wallet
• Cell Phone

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.

2. Clear off that special spot of the random other things that have collected there, such as paper, expired coupons and other clutter.

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.

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.

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.

Tips & Warnings

• It may take an extra minute or two when you walk in the door, but will undoubtedly be worth it when you're leaving.
