Lost the Remote Control again? This problem has been around since the invention of the remote control. Here´s how to solve it.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Your eyes
  1. Step 1

    Stop looking for the remote. I believe this was a technique Einstein used when a problem was too complicated for him he simply stopped thinking about it. This will help you clear your head.

  2. Step 2

    After ýou´ve stopped searching for the remote for a good 10 minutes. Start trying to think of all the places you last saw it. Visualize if you can.

  3. Step 3

    Think of the oddest placest you could have left it. Chances are it won´t be sitting on the table next to you so check the bathroom, the laundry basket, and your bed. It´s usually always somewhere you never would have expected.

  4. Step 4

    Enlist the help of others ask your family where it is. If you´re smart you can even train your dog to find the remote as I´ve done.

  5. Step 5

    Eat some vegetables and drink lots of water. This will help your memory. If you still haven´t found your remote control by sunset maybe you should start watching television online.

Tips & Warnings
  • Don´t stress. Stress is bad for the brain so not only will you not find it by stressing, you will actually hurt the cause.
  • If you find the remote turn the t.v. off and don´t forget to check out my other articles.
