olga Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 lilie: I don't have AHDH (I don't think!), but I'm middle-aged and have hardening of the arteries, and my hubby is well into senior citizen-hood. We were misplacing our car keys all the time, so I put a key holder right next to the kitchen door. Then I wrote a post-it that said "Hang up your keys!" and put it on the kitchen door. It took us a few weeks to get programmed, but now the car keys get hung up before we get into the house, so they never get lost.....well, almost never! We don't lose house keys 'cause we don't have any. I think you have to program yourself to use your little birdhouse and never deviate from the routine. It's the only way I can keep track of the car keys. olga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbow_tears Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Whever I come in I wack my keys straight in the other side of the door and lock it, and keep the keys in the door, yes its not very safe but it saves loosing them time and time again! although a lot of the time I forget to put them on the inside of the door, shut the door and do whatever only to be alerted to the fact my keys were on the outside of the door by the postman! I have before now rung the bank and cancelled all my cards thinking my wallet has been nicjked only to find it a few hours later! gah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 We have his and her key hooks right inside the garage door, if only I can remember to take them out of my pants. Tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sepia Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 My keys are always hung over the spice rack, which is three feet from the door. If not there, they are hung around my neck. Yay, lanyards, and yay for looking like a total geek. My bus pass is there, too. People stare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilie Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 That's what I need to do is hang them around my neck like I did when I was a kid. But I have one of those key megaholders with a waist clip and 400 keys. Oh well it'll help my neck muscles Lilie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realitytest Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I solved this problem LONG LONG ago. I have dozens of car keys madel. Never at a loss! (As for house keys - can't even remember the last time I locked the door.) rt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldo Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Clip your key chain to your cell phone and call yourself up. With your other cellphone. I'm sure there's a remote control beeper someplace, but then you have to find the remote. I keep my day's meds in a little metal canister on my keychain, so I have to know where it is. It's always either in my pants pocket, or, in the morning, next to the bag of pill bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LikeMinded Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Clip your key chain to your cell phone and call yourself up. With your other cellphone.

It's always either in my pants pocket, or, in the morning, next to the bag of pill bottles. I've relegated myself to the cold, hard fact that each time I try and get organized and put things in their 'right' respective places, nothing ever goes into its right place - each item just gets dropped off where the hand feels like dropping it off. And RE: the meds, I keep mine in a giant, clear organizer box (the damn thing's huge given that I take 6 crazymeds, B3/B6/B12, magnesium, L-tyrosine, and L-carnitine). I used to fight around with having 10+ bottles scattered around, and my "magic happy box of pills", as I call it, has helped out infinitely. Of course, the biggest drawback is that my box only has one lid (instead of an individual lid over each compartment). I have at least once klutzily (aspie and/or MS-style) flipped the box over while trying to handle it, and spent the next hour putting everything back in its place. now where'd I put my trazodone, --herrfous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artchick Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I have a hook right by the door. As soon as I open the door my keys go on the hook. They don't leave the hook until I'm going through the door again. Keys are the only thing I don't lose. By the way, a trick with keys. When I go somewhere I am always leaving my coat, purse, notebook, etc. I've helped solve this by always putting my cars key in/on/etc. the thing I don't want to forget. That way I can't drive home unless I have the important object. The other thing is to say in your head (or out loud if you can get away with it without looking completely crazy) "I am putting my keys (insert location)" My problem is important papers- I'm always losing them.
