My funny side of ADHD is when I always place things at the right place, but I also forget about it

Like, I always go “wow, this is such a logical place for them how could I forget about it”. I wonder if there’s anyone with similar thing haha

    If a place is the logical one for me I make sure there is something physically there to confirm it is the right place. A key rack, colorful shallow bowl, a stationary object that I can associate with the tight place after 60 or so times, etc.

    A place is only the logical place when I remember putting it there or it is the first place I checked. All other places can be logical, but aren’t the most logical place.

    Some things take years for me to find the right place…

      I like the concept of a distinct marker. Because when I’m trying to think of where something is, I try to picture the last place I saw it and the things that were around it. Putting a unique flag at each of the typical “dumping grounds” might help me realize where it is quicker.

        My wallet goes on my bedside dresser on a yellow piece of cloth that is also where my phone goes to charge. I will walk through the house to put it there whenever I get home. Wallet goes on yellow thing by the bed.

        Haven’t misplaced it for over a decade. Misplaced it frequently before that.

        Repetition!
