If you’re like me, every day you say, “Where the heck did I put my…?” Well, you’re not alone. According to a new survey, if I’m normal (jury says…?), I take an average of 5 minutes and 20 seconds to find something I JUST HAD IN MY HAND! And we waste TWO-AND-A-HALF DAYS every YEAR! Think about that: That’s 2 1/2 days drinking delicious craft beer (so I can become even more forgetful), or playing golf, or going to the beach, or cruisin’ the bricks, listening to THE FOX! Here are five more stats:

1.  The six things we misplace the most are the remote, our phone, our keys, our glasses, our shoes, and our wallet or purse.  Over 70% of us can’t find the remote at least once a month.

2.  60% of people have been late for work or school because they couldn’t find something . . . 49% have missed an appointment . . . and 35% have gotten into a fight with their significant other.  Men are more likely to blame someone else than women.

3.  The three places we look FIRST are our purse or bag . . . the couch . . . and the pockets of whatever we wore the day before.

4.  40% think that getting older is one reason we lose stuff.  But millennials are actually twice as likely to lose stuff as baby boomers.

5.  69% of us have found something ELSE that was missing while looking for a lost item.
