My funny side of ADHD is when I always place things at the right place, but I also forget about it

Like, I always go “wow, this is such a logical place for them how could I forget about it”. I wonder if there’s anyone with similar thing haha

    My problem is that the logical place is in the same logical place as all my other useful things.

    So the stack of useful things only grows until its a pile and now no longer useful. Good news is everything is right where I left it… In the pile.

    If a place is the logical one for me I make sure there is something physically there to confirm it is the right place. A key rack, colorful shallow bowl, a stationary object that I can associate with the tight place after 60 or so times, etc.

    A place is only the logical place when I remember putting it there or it is the first place I checked. All other places can be logical, but aren’t the most logical place.

    Some things take years for me to find the right place…

    Are they REALLY in the right place, or does it just seem like the right place at the time?

    In hindsight, a lot of the “perfect places” I’ve put things just happened to be convenient at the time. I somehow convince myself that it’s totally reasonable to put my dinner plate under the couch.
