An idea to keep from losing things around the house. Put "it" where you can see "it"

[Stuart G]

...I misplaced a 3 pound weight that I use to exercise my arms. I didn't have to look far because it was sitting on top of some books in a corner. I knew it was around.."somewhere."
...Now that 3 pound weight is in a place where I can see it. As I put the weight on top of a table, in plain sight, I said to myself, the "weight is there to see".
...If the item is important, and needs to be used often, then put it somewhere you can see "it". Not in some drawer or neat place with other stuff. (yes, I collect lots of"stuff." ) But, in a place where you can "see it" Now, I have searched around for lots of important things many times. Wondering where did I put that?..But, when the "thing" is out in plain sight, the search is kept to a minimum. (Yes, I have spent hours searching for things)'..

...How many things do you need to keep in plain sight? That is up to you. Maybe a table top for such "things" so you know where they are. But putting things in "plain sight." can save you lots of ..."time." About that word: "time." It may indeed be the most valuable thing we have. Perhaps this idea might help save some "time." Best wishes for today. Hope things are OK.....Stuart....

1. I put my glasses in plain sight, the problem was the glasses blended with the color of the table.

I looked at the table many times and just did not see the glasses. I have since changed the color of the frame.

3. I had clear frames for about 2 weeks.....

They are now the "TV watching glasses" and I keep them in the same container as the remotes.
