Do you know exactly, this instant, where your house and car keys are?  If you do not have an IMMEDIATE ‘yes’ answer, today’s tip will be very useful to you.

Upon arriving home, place your car and house keys in the same location EVERY time you enter.  The location should be convenient and accessible on the way in and the way back out.  If you are left handed, keep it somewhere on your left; if right-handed, on your right.  A decorative tray or bowl on a side table is a perfect location.  It should be shallow so you can scoop out the keys on the run out the door.

If, for some unknown reason, you leave your keys in your car … I would suggest you rethink that.  Why make it easier for anyone to help themselves to your vehicle.  It can really ruin your day when you go to leave for work in the morning and discover that your car is missing.

When you get out of your car, always put your keys in either the same pocket (mine are always in my right coat pocket or zippered front pocket of my purse) or a specific spot in your briefcase or purse.  That way, when you need them later … tadah! … there they are, right where they belong.  If they are not there, you lost them and you are about to waste yet more time in your life while you search for them.

In a short time, by always placing keys in the same location, you will no longer have to be concerned whether or not you know where your keys are … you will have more time in your day for important things rather than scurrying around hunting for them yet again … life will be just a baby step easier that it was.  Develop the habit and it will become second nature very easily.

To more time in your day…
