Im envious of your ability to keep track of your things. I end up needing to use the one of my tiles to find either my keys, phone, wallet or work badge almost

  Wow! Forgive me, but why can’t you just keep them in the same place? My wallet and keys are 100% of the time in the same place when I’m at home, and my phone is either in my pocket, my hand, charging in a specific spot, or on a random surface in the house. That last one is rare, but happens. It takes roughly 30 seconds to walk through the house and find it. What am I missing?

    Different people are different. I now keep my personal things in the same place at home >99% of the time, but it's taken me decades of training to get to this point. For example, I used to walk in with my keys, and would be ready to put them into their home. But there could be an interruption between the time I used the keys to open the front door and when I put them in their home. For me, that situation would often cause me to put my keys in an inappropriate place, which often caused them to get 'lost' later on. The behaviour modification, for me, was causing me to resist any reaction to any interruption until the necessary things landed where they belonged. Different people are different.

      That sounds more like you just need to have the place that you put your keys immediately by the door.

    Personally, I've found having them in the one place works really well until my under-5 year old wants to play "driving to daycare" and forgets where they left them once done.
