Sounds a lot like me! I have found (and keep trying to do it!) that I need a logical place for everything and HAVE to put things back in their proper place immediately or it will be lost. Example: car keys. I used to put them in a coat pocket, on the kitchen counter, on the end table, wherever I happened to set them down. One day, I knew I had put them in my coat pocket, so I grabbed my coat, went out on a date, came home and found that the keys were in my OTHER coat pocket. I had to wade through thigh high snow to get to a window I knew I could "break in" to my own house. My date followed me around the house, made sure I got in the house before he left... and I never heard from him again. LOL I'm sure he thought I was a crazy woman!! Now, my keys ALWAYS go in a certain pocket in my purse and I always make sure I have my keys in my purse and my purse in my hand before I lock the car door. I'm sure you know why I learned to do this!
