This makes so much sense. I have found lately that is exactly what I have been doing. It didn't help although since I have lost my best pair of newly bought black tights twice in the last month BUT I bought a new pair today and talked to them and myself and now completely remember where they are and why I put them in that special place!!
Thank you

I have developed the habit of putting my car keys in my mouth (don't ask!) to avoid locking them in the car or leaving them in the house. I can't tell you how many times I have searched the house for my keys when they were in my mouth...really!

Hi, I do something similar when turning off my hair straighteners. I look at a soft toy that sits nearby and say straighteners off out loud. Its the only way I know I have done it when I suddenly think of them halfway to work.
