I have a Rick Steves' style pack-on-wheels that's all I carry on the jet, no checked baggage. I put everything in the same place each time that I put it years ago, so even if I'm sometimes absent-minded, I have a fail-safe retrieval system.

If I leave them laying around wherever, I lose them. If by chance I lose something else, I always have to retrace my steps with it. It's the only way I've found to really cover every possible chance for the item to run away. Like you, I make sure my keys and wallet go to the exact same place every day.

Otherwise, if I throw them somewhere I always make an effort to leave them on top of something, not to the side, etc. Things will still get lost from time to time but this cuts down on the mornings with the "where are my keys".

When I used to work on a machine for a living, I would setup my work area every day by putting my daily tools in a particular place. Took about 2 minutes to collect them from where the last shift put them. Then I would put them in a certain place. This way if I needed them in a hurry, I could practically get them with my eyes closed. Which happened often on 3rd shift hehe (though not very safe). I don't work on a machine anymore, but I do have a 'cubby' at home. Its really a place in our entertainment system. But when I come home, I place my keys on a hook every time. I also put my wallet, watch and any other goods into my cubbie. This way I know where they are at any time. Does this seem a bit compulsive? Or just practical? I do the same thing.
