Remember: When you eventually find the thing, put it in the first place you looked for it. Next time, your instinctive reaction will be successful.

@Heliograph For me it is embarissingly often "Used as a bookmark"

Where did I put my phone? Oh, it's in a book.

That really important letter? Book.

Tweezers? Watch? Toothpaste? Book. Book. Book.

Just *pretend* you have a new one, you'll find the old one while putting the pretend one away. Or it's under something, or in the car.

You had to put it down to grab something from the fridge. So, there it is!
@Heliograph

[rjblaskiewicz@mstdn.social]

@hakona @Heliograph I had never seen that refrigerator before in my life.

[stargazersmith@social.linux.pizza]

@Heliograph
Some significant portion of my life is described by your diagram.

[hakona@im.alstadheim.no]

@rjblaskiewicz Ok, we're moving from absent-minded to haunted here. Or maybe somebody is gaslighting you, placing random fridges around and acting innocent? @Heliograph

[rjblaskiewicz@mstdn.social]

@hakona @Heliograph

To be fair it could be dementia. Maybe end stage neurosyphilis.

[hakona@im.alstadheim.no]

@rjblaskiewicz True. But then how could you be here to tell the story of that random fridge? My bet is somebody is out to get you . @Heliograph

[rjblaskiewicz@mstdn.social]

@hakona @Heliograph

I'm about 10 seconds away from going full Philip K. Dick here.

@Heliograph I am currently waiting for Amazon to deliver a replacement for a thing I've lost. I expect the original will turn up moments after the Amazon delivery .
UPDATE: I found the lost item before Amazon arrived. Panic over.

[fractalkitty@mathstodon.xyz]

@Heliograph found my coffee in the closet a week later.

[fgrosshans@mathstodon.xyz]

@Heliograph Obviously, you are me

[nukehavoc@dice.camp]

@Heliograph That checks out.

@Heliograph

This chart is a lie. It is missing the "Carlessly set down and covered with something else in some random corner (I know exactly where it is even years later)".

[rasmus91@fosstodon.org]

@Heliograph whenever a thing disappears for me, it's because I put it somewhere I couldn't possibly forget about it

[korin@roark.voluminum.net]

@Heliograph can't forget the classic "i'm holding it"

[janusfox@animal.business]

@Heliograph The third option is "exactly where it is supposed to be" which does nothing to explain why you can't find it there.

[mellivora@im-in.space]

@Heliograph adhd be like.
