Searching for misplaced items
costs us time and money. According to the American Demographic Society,
American waste 9 million hours per day searching for misplaced items. A Harris
Interactive survey found that 23% of adults say they pay bills late (thus
incurring late fees) because they lose them.A few common items that we lose
frequently are credit cards, wallets, TV remotes, sunglasses, cell phones,
bills and keys.
Here are some tips to help you
keep up with your stuff:Keep all cards in the same
wallet;After making a purchase, put your card back in its spot in your wallet
immediately;Make copies of the front and back of your cards and file. If you do
lose a card and need to cancel it, you will have all the necessary information
in your file.Ladies: Choose a wallet in a
vivid color so it is visible inside your dark purse;Don't change purses often.
Transferring items between purses creates more opportunities for losing
things;Men: Have a designated spot to place your wallet overnight.
Give the remotes a home such as a
decorative box or basket on a coffee table or end table;Attach to the side of
the TV with Velcro when not in use.If you only use sunglasses for driving,
leave them in the car;Designate a place near the door you use for sunglasses.
At our house, we use a drawer in the kitchen near the door we enter and exit.
Our keys, our sunglasses, my husband's work badge and his wallet all go in the
drawer.Always store in the same compartment of your purse;Use a case with a
clip and fasten the phone to your belt or on the pocket of your purse;Wear it
like a necklace on a chain or lanyard around your neck;Keep your charger
plugged into the same outlet.Create one spot to place all bills until you are
ready to pay them.The "key" to not losing keys is to always keep them
in the exact same place, such as:A designated drawer as mentioned earlier;A key
hanger mounted by the door;A basket or pretty bowl near the door;Carry them in
the same pants pockets each time, for example, always the left front pocket;The
same compartment in your purse.So I suggest you should get a Purse Hanger Key Chain,it's
beautiful and useful.
