How To Never Lose Your Keys Again

How many times have you been in this situation? You’re rushing around your home getting ready for an appointment, running a bit late when at last you are ready to go when you realize you don’t have your keys! Panic strikes.  Your heart drops and you think “where the heck did I put them?” In this state of panic it’s even harder to think straight and remember anything.  If only you had some system of organization for your keys to prevent this scenario ever again.

What you need is a home for your keys.  It could be as simple as hanging a hook inside your front door or placing a bowl or tray on your front hall table (f you have one) in which to deposit the keys each and every time you come home. The keys need to have a place to be deposited and not simply lying on a table – they need to be contained in something.  And most importantly, this new home for your keys needs to be very visible to you and easy to access as soon as you walk in the door.  Once you have the home for your keys set up you then need to build a new and consistent behavior as soon as you walk in the door. This does take practice but with effort and a sincere desire not to relive the “I can’t find my keys” scenario, it will work.
