Misplaced car keys

Have you ever misplaced your car keys?

I used to do it all the time. I’d leave it in my jacket pocket and forget about it. In my pants pocket. On the desk. On the table.

My heart would race as I madly dashed upstairs and downstairs, frantically looking, while texting friends to apologize for being late. 

After finding them, I’d beat myself up about it and vow to try harder. 

And then forget them again, weeks later.

After years of this, a friend suggested I put my keys in the same drawer every time I come home. I haven’t lost my keys since.

Sometimes, the answer isn’t trying harder. It’s simply finding a better system. 

Thanks for caring!

With gratitude,
