Tuesday Memory Tricks

   Sorry for not posting yesterday. I was sick all weekend. I am back to normal and feel like writing again! I have a hard time finding keys or remembering where I parked.  I figured out if I just make a point to look back and check to see exactly where I parked, it makes it easier for me to remember.  I also try to park beside a light pole or buggy cart.  This technique also helps me remember, especially if there is another vehicle that is just exactly like mine and it is possible. lol! For finding my keys, I usually try to put them in the same place and make that place a consistent place to put them. It is so easy to get distracted and remembering where you put things is difficult sometimes.  If you are like me, you would loose your head if it was not attached.  I am a fairly organized person but remembering something small like your keys is a doozy. I also have a difficult time with locking myself out of my car. Hey. I am sure that I am not the only one that has had to call a tow truck.
     A crafting project that I have been working on lately is labeling things.  Putting my items in certain bins and keeping them there.  I hate to be stressed especially when it only concerns finding a simple stamp for a card or a certain color of yarn for my crochet projects.  I am working on organizing my office drawers so that each item will have its own little place.  This project is not difficult, what is difficult is keeping" that item in its certain little place.  This time I am going to make a point to keep my items in their own little home so I can help my day flow easier.  There is nothing like searching for your glasses when they're setting on your face, but I am sure It has happened to more than one person.  It's kinda of like when the old garmin can't find where you need to go.  A GPS has to have the proper instructions to get you to the right destination.
    One last thing that I am working on concerning organization is a coupon binder.  At first, I tried to organize my coupons like they do on the show, "Extreme Coupons," but I found it a bit difficult and frustrating to carry that huge binder around with me everywhere.  I have found some shortcuts that work better for me.  Just because a certain celebrity says its the best way for them, does not mean you have to do it exactly like that.  Find a way that  is better for you , but stick to it, don't keep changing or you will  end up back in the same boat.  I guess the moral of this story is to keep things in the same place and make a point to keep the item in its happy home.  That is my memory Technique for today. #22qblessed#happyTuesday
