- Keep Things In A Designated Place
If you have this habit of placing your keys every where at home, make it a point to assign it to one place and stick to it. For example, get a pretty bowl and place it near the door and put your keys there every time you reach home. This way, your keys never go missing again and you'll always know where to find them.
