Do you lose things or are you organized?

Are you the type of person who loses things? Right now I am missing a can of tuna and an envelope that contains something fairly important. I don't usually lose things that are critically important like my purse and cellphone for instance but when it comes to other items, it seems I am always misplacing them. Sometimes I even have a sense I will misplace them and then Ido kind of a self fulfilling prophecy. I wish I could be more organized as I feel frustrated when things are missing.

I wish I had all the time back that I have spent hunting for things. At least in my old age I have gotten pretty good at hanging my keys up, and I have never lost the key to my riding lawn mower. I guess I should be knocking on wood as I say that!

@snowy22315 yes, do knock on wood. I am thinking of making myself a checklist to look at before I leave work, etc. I have had to drive back and get things

I know being organized would make my life a lot easier..but I think it is a combination of it not being natural for me, not really caring..and not wanting to change. As I said though, if I really don't want to lose something I don't.

When I was younger I was organized. Now that I am older and have the twins keeping me busy, I would lose my head if it was not attached to my shoulders! I am always misplacing something.

Yes, it is harder when you have kids..at least with my son being grown up now, I am only really responsible for myself.

@snowy22315 I think when I gave birth a few brain cells were lost because I am nowhere near the organized person I used to be.

I don't usually lose things. But I'm sure we all have days where we do.

Losing things is a way of life around here..but like I said, if there is something I really know would be awful to replace..I do know where it is. If I make up my mind enough not to lose something I don't/

@Courtlynn I lose all manner of things..Like I said, if it is too, tooo important, I make it a point not to lose it though.

Probably one of those things, you put it in a place so safe you forgot what it was!

Until I found it but I am glad I found it even though it was not what I was looking for.

I lose things too, and it is very frustrating. I am trying to get more organized. Being frustrated ain't nothing nice.

Sometimes I think I have something in the car, and it is in the house or vice versa. I don't remember bringing that envelope in. but it is possible. I think I am going to do some cleaning today so perhaps I will find it.

@snowy22315 Some kind of system, but not the best!

I'm fairly organized but really could be better. I still misplace things and it's frustrating

It is especially when you know you might do it.

I don't lose too many things. Mostly I am able to backtrack and find whatever it is. Vince gets mad at me when he loses something and I say 'where did you have it last'. He always replies 'if I knew that I'd be able to find it' but sometimes asking this questions does help locate the missing item. Good luck with the tuna and envelope. The tuna isn't in the fridge is it?

lol, no it wouldn't be, because it wasn't opened. Generally, I find things like that somewhere in the pantry which is full of stuff and is not very organized..but I did organize it a bit last week. Maybe it is time to do the whole thing..the pamesan cheese in the shaker jar is missing too I noticed last night.
. My ex-used to say some polecat took the mustard..etc. whatever was missing at the time.
