I have come up with an idea to keep from losing things around the house...

[Stuart G]

Here is the idea and the steps needed to complete the idea and never lose things again.

1...Pick a table. Any table around the house will do as long as it is easy to see this table, and then clear the top of the table from all stuff. (Yes, it can be the only table that has no stuff on it, and that is OK}

2...From now on this table is named.....Losing Things Table...or ..LTT... for short

3. Decide what you do not want to lose. This can be a scissors, a bill, a picture, a ruler, a
shirt, cards, old notes, ear phones, etc. etc. etc....This is the key step, say to yourself
("I don't want to lose this thing." or say it out loud....)

4. Place the thing on the LTT and say, "I don't want to lose this thing"

5. Reminder: This is a special table (your pick) and on top of this table are things you do not want to lose.

Other tables can have lots of stuff, but this one has those things that you don't want to lose. You want to be able to find these things right away and not lose them. Other tables can have their stuff, but this one has stuff that you do not want to lose..(Yes, I said that twice)

6. By putting those things on top of this special LTT, the process of doing this will keep you from losing this particular "thing", whatever thing that is

7. Give this method a try, and if it doesn't work, that is ok too. Remember:....this could work and help a
you from losing things around the house.
Also, it might NOT work,... so what is the problem?

......You tried an easy solution to an old problem and it did not work. So what?..You did NOT have to buy book to get this possible solution, and you did not have to read lots of pages.

This is simple, easy to do, can be easily tried, costs nothing, and might work..
.Also, since it is cheap and very easy to do, it can be
tried by the whole family if people are willing to give it a try. Or, you can have a LTT in each room
of the house. Tables are cheap. They can be bought at yard sales.

Tables can be big or small, tall or short
They can be any color you want, and this idea might work, so give it a try.
...............................That is all I have on this particular subject.......................................

2. I have a important stuff tray that when I have something I don't want to lose I put it in that

Basket. It’s a flat legal page size basket. My phones get charged from basket also. If they not in my purse.

But I like your table idea if you have the space. I also retrace my steps if I lose something.

4. We use a big wooden bowl on the counter.

Right in the door and the middle of the house.

It has to be cleaned out occasionally as it collects loose twist ties and receipts.

5. I try to assign locations for important things.

Wallet is always in my pocket or in the tray on my dresser. Keys always in coat pocket or top shelf of bookcase. I avoid leaving important items in random locations. Same principle, and a good idea!

6. What if you have cats who think it would be fun

to swat things off the table and take them away to play cat hockey with so the things you really didn't want to lose end up under a radiator or the refrigerator?

[Stuart G]

7. I have no solution to your analyisis of this problem..Perhaps having a long talk with

each cat might work, but that does not work with some individuals given their rambunctious nature...

SO.........."I HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE"..................SAYS STU..!!!!!!!
