Where are lost keys usually found?
Some wise person once said to me “apparently objects are usually found within eighteen inches of their original location” well that’s not much good to me when I don’t remember where the original locations were.
Anyway, the best way to find lost keys, and mobiles is to be logical about it.
You firstly need to stay calm which I know isn’t easy when your mad with yourself and everyone else around you as its obviously their fault- not. While the frustration just keeps building up don’t be tempted to just rummage around like a headless chicken you need to be smart and focused
Start by taking a few deep breaths and clear your mind of any panicky thoughts
Think of something that calms you down- happy memory, beautiful landscape etc
Think positively: it’s around here somewhere and I will find it
Now start to devise a plan of where to look
Think where do I normally leave my keys?
If not there where else would I leave them?
Where were my keys the last time, I missed place them?
What was I doing the last time I had the keys?
Now you have a plan of areas to look you also need to extend it to cover the immediate vicinity of each place for example
Your keys may be in the drawer underneath the counter you normally sit them on
In your coat pocket that you were wearing when you came back into the house
Also reach the area properly lift up items, as the keys may have fallen off a hook or out of your pocket.
Try and retrace your steps of the last time you remember having them and what you did. For example, you came in the door took the shopping into the kitchen and then placed them down on the table or in the fruit bowl while you put the shopping away.
Ask for help from people around you. It is possible that someone has accidentally grabbed your car or house keys by mistake.
If you have lost your keys outside of the home call the places that you have been that day, to see if they have been handed in.
