Everything my wife touches.
I leave things that I need to use in a place where I will see them. Toothpaste, on the counter. Purse, on the counter. Shoes, right in the middle of the floor. Keys, earplugs, wallet, on the counter.
My wife puts everything "away." Purse gets hung behind the mudroom door. Wallet, earplugs into a drawer. Keys on a hook. Shoes in the mudroom. Toothpaste in a drawer.
Now I can't see those things, and they're not where I left them. They might as well not exist, until a random time where I absolutely must have them, and my "processing train" is immediately derailed, causing a high level of stress and a huge obstacle to going about my day. Sometimes I'll just completely bail on whatever it was I had an inkling to do, because the effort to "do the search for the thing" is too much.
