If establishing a home for every item fails (#Hack 71), use a tracking device as a contingency plan for your most important things. For example, after losing my passport in Shanghai (long story), I’ve been ever-vigilant in tracking my essential items. With a Bluetooth-enabled Tile, you can simply chime whatever the tracker is attached to and access a map of the item’s location. Or, if your phone is lost, you can ring it from one of the tracked items. Yeah—it’s already saved my dumb ass multiple times.
