AHHHH! I keep losing things!?

Question: I keep losing things like my keys. For example, this morning, I locked them in my closet. See, i need the keys to open the closet, then i put the keys down in the closet when i start getting things out. So, of course i locked them in there. (I kinda have to lock them up, cause i live in a dorm. I don't trust my roomate yet.)

Answers:
Have a designated place to keep your keys (and never deviate putting them elsewhere), preferably a secret place (a desk drawer, etc. where the roommate never looks). One memory trick that some psychologist suggested once was as you put a key someplace, imagine that place exploding....yah, weird, but supposedly it helps you remember.

Good luck from another of the memory-challenged.

I have the same problem. I have to take a second when I sit things down to register in my head where I laid it. I find that when I don't do that I forget much more often. Try it. It works. It is not fool proof though. LOL
