What can you do to help remember where you misplaced something?
Good one . Well there is something called 'method of loc’ if you have not heard of this approach. One recalls a forgotten object/person/event by visualizing its last location, Though it seems you want the reverse -- to remember the location not the object.
What I often do, after misplacing something, is try to visualize where I had it last. Usually it works -- guess it could be a variation of 'method of loc'
BTY: saw in your profile you have a background in journalism. It inspired me to revisit my post and do some editing. Hopefully, now, it is a little less of an awkward read.
TY for your question and posititve comment.

People say that retracing your steps works. I find that I have to start to do something else and then I find what I lost.
when i got exhausted of looking for something i mispalced i just relax for a while take a deep breath and then trying to refresh things and all the activities I've done.
If it's something important I go all "Sherlock" on it. When did I last see it? - Where did I last see ?- Why did I have it? - How did it look against the background? If I come up empty I move onto: Where could I have put it and Why? This provokes me to look in unusual places, because obviously I did not put it where it belongs. I usually do find it, although at this point I have turned the house upside down and find many things!
Twice this week this has happened me and eventually after about an hour of searching everywhere I think it might be, I find it in a place that it shouldn't be.
Since I'm a little older now, I don't know whether I forget more or things are less important. For one thing, I've declutered my apartment so that I keep just the important things. I keep everything organized by category, sewing kits, beauty products, etc. In other words a place for everything and everything in its place works for me.

I used to find them easily, I don't remember where. I've been gone a long time, and some things may have changed. Want to ease back into Hubbing again.

John F. Kennedy was assassinated 50 years ago Nov 22 of 2013. I remember where I was and what I was doing that day. Are our lives different today because of this event?

What are the most important things you want people to remember about you after you are gone?If you could attend your own funeral, what would you want to hear people saying about you? If people only remembered one thing about you one hundred years from now, what would you want that to be? If someone...
