For real though, the trick is to put it down, then take a few steps away, then look at it for a few seconds, then say where it is out loud (if possible, if you are at work or something you may seem crazy).

At least for me this has a very high success ratio.

I do the same but I usually say it to my wife or kids, so if it didn't work then they can remind me ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿคฃ

And if they are not around I just say "Hey Google remind me in X minutes/hours about blabla", it's actually a very good habit, and I have about 6 Tiles (like airtags) on all my important stuff that I can ring if I forget where I put it. They can also be used to locate my phone, I just need to find 1 device and press it to ring my phone and then find all the rest ๐Ÿ˜‰

Edit: oh and another pro tip, cameras at the house can also be used to check if you locked the door! ๐Ÿ˜‚

I wouldn't be able to leave the flat most mornings if I didn't have Chipolo tags on my keys and a card one in my wallet.
