I lose my cell phone and keys all the time!!!!! They are in my house; I just don't know where. My daughter finally persuaded me to buy a Dooney and Burke pocketbook because it has this really cool strap inside that has a little hook to secure your keys with. I truly had create a habit of attaching the keys EVERYTIME I was not not driving. I really believe I could hold onto things better if I just created a habit of where to put it. I am fairly organized but sometimes I rush so much that I get sloppy and just sit something down quickly to move onto the next thing.
