1. Count to Ten
Slowing your body and mind down will allow you to focus on the task at hand without the adrenaline clouding your judgment.
2. Retrace Your Steps
visit common areas where you tend to leave things - a counter, a desk, the couch, your dresser - anyplace where you tend to set things down.
3. Engage Help
the more people you have searching, the better.
4. The Usual Suspects
The usual suspects include anyone or anything that likes to play with objects and doesn’t always put that item back where it came from. Children and pets are the most common culprits. Take a peek in playrooms, dog-beds, toy boxes, game closets or any other locations that these culprits frequent.
5. Don’t Lose Your Stuff In the First Place!
