We all lose keys, phones, wallets – the list goes on! But besides the frustration, it turns out that losing stuff can put a dent in your wallet. Replacing lost items adds up, and all that wasted time searching for them adds up too.
This episode also explores why your brain sometimes betrays you. When you’re stressed or forgetful, simple things like putting down your keys can slip your mind. Folks with ADHD might struggle with organization and planning, making it easier to misplace things. Even your daily habits can play a role – if you always toss your keys on a random surface, you're more likely to forget where they are later.
The good news is there are ways to fight back against lost belongings! The episode offered tips like creating designated spots for your stuff, developing routines to put things back where they belong, and utilizing technology like phone trackers. By getting organized, you can save yourself time, money, and a whole lot of frustration.
From my desk to yours,
Heather
