There's a joke in my family, that we're all genetically predisposed to lose keys.

When I was a kid, we had a ritual. 30 min. before leaving to go anywhere, my Dad would yell "Where are my keys?" which was the signal for the rest of the family to start searching.

I've been known to lose hotel keys in my hotel room. And I once spent literally 2 hours searching my apartment for my keys before realizing they fallen down the back flap of my backpack.

Now I have a rule. The keys stay in the same place. I put them there as soon as I come in, and don't move them. That way they're there in the morning when I need them. Heaven help me if I forget and don't put them in there exact spot.
