I find it just easier to develop a protocol on where the keys go. In fact, I organize my entire space so that everything has a place and as soon as I am done with it I put it back in the place. Reduces cognitive load. Since a thing is in a place every time, eventually my brain builds a detailed map of exactly where everything lives, even down to the inch within a shelf, drawer, etc. At this point I could almost operate blind.
- ragazzina 6y agoI've heard a similar technique: always picture the keys as "living on that shelf" or "sleeping in that bowl".
- jasonv 6y agoI do this, but I live with people who don't. Therein lies the rub...
- titzer 6y agoAh yeah. Things moving behind your back. It's functionally equivalent to the house being haunted. I get the same feeling working on a shared codebase...where'd I put that dang function now...
