General Preventative Tips

The best way to avoid losing your daily necessities is to be proactive. Prevention, after all, is the best medicine. Here are some general preventative tips:

Follow a routine

Without daily routines, we are completely messed up. Creating and following a routine will not only help you avoid losing things, it is also an immense aid for recovering the items you've misplaced, as anyone who's ever "retraced their steps" can attest to.

Be organized

Instead of leaving random piles of paper behind or stacking everything on your desk or coffee table, organize things properly, then maintaining order can eliminate many future headaches. Filing cabinets and bookcases exist for a reason, after all.

Avoid clutter
