How to Find Stuff

Where did you last put it?
Where did you last see it?
Where did you last use it?
Where is it normally kept?
Where is it normally used?
Who else uses it? Ask them the first three questions.
Could it be near one of these places? (ex. it fell off a table or got put away one drawer over).

And if you always put something in the same place, but can’t find it there, try looking somewhere you never put anything.
