Can’t remember where you put your keys - or your wallet?
You’re not alone. The average person spends at least 10 minutes a day looking for things they have misplaced – keys and wallets top the list. After those items, most of us waste time looking for our car, shoes, phone, glasses or the remote control.
The reason we misplace stuff is usually because we’re focused on the next task at hand. The reason we can’t find them later is because we’ve changed our state of mind. For instance, you might be hungry and headed for the kitchen when you put your keys or remote control down. You’re no longer hungry when you start to look, so you’ve lost that mental association. That’s why retracing your steps and your feelings can take you back physically and mentally – and help you find the item.
