And then you come up with a place for the replacement and find the lost one.

I have a small method I use. If I cannot find something and am searching for it. I take a mental note of the first place I looked for. Then, when I eventually find it, I put it back at the place I first thought of looking, because it must be a "logical" place for this thing to be.
I like this idea!
You'll find it 5 years from now when you are moving
Have you checked both of your hands?
That's not a joke. I once did 2 laps around a work office looking for paperwork that was in my hand the entire time.
True, but it IS safe.
You all realize this is a thing that happens to most people, right?
Yes.
I lost two pairs of keys this way. I'm sure they're still in the house and I checked everywhere. I still don't know where the fuck they can be.
I do this all the time. Worse its not a safe place its the place I put it in so I would be sure not to forget it.
I don't know where it is, but I know I put it somewhere very convenient and logical. So. There..?
Twin bought tin foil. I placed tin foil somewhere because we still had some left. Tin foil is gone. I have memory issues. Tin foil is in the tin foil dimension now.
I went camping, came home and put them in a safe place while I unpacked.
I have not seen my car keys in a year. Thank the gods my wife has the spare, otherwise I'd be in a world of hurt.
....especially because I also set down my replacement car keys at one point, and they decided to run off with the first set...
It's called being clever. It's how many things are lost forever
It was 3 weeks ago when I've put my travel power bank in the safe place. Still searching. It's a bummer that I can't ring to it.
I put it in its home preferably then point at it and say what it is and where it is a few times, works pretty well for me
I always feel weird that I can find what I'm looking for faster the less organized I am. Every time I organize all of my stuff into something that makes sense to me, I'll spend a ton of time looking for something. Meanwhile if it's disorganized and a mess, I can find anything immediately.
It's safe from the most dangerous thing, you!
