Quick Tip: Never Lose Anything Again

So after getting ready to go out today I realized that I had lost my passport. The last memory I have of it was putting it somewhere it couldn't get lost...

I'd say 50% of the time when I put an object somewhere so I won't lose it, I end up losing it. My safe place is so safe, I forget where it is.

I thought of a pretty good solution for this problem this evening. I put my passport back where I found it and then I emailed emailed myself:

Subject: Passport
Message Body: In your backpack in the closet.

I also copied my brother on the email and applied the label "Stuff." This way when I lose my passport next time I can simply pull up my email and see where it is located.

Good idea.
My idea is a little different though.
Create a file on Google Docs, Zoho, or Thinkfree (I use Zoho). Make a list of stuff and where it is on a spreadsheet.

Great idea. I use Gmail to remember all sorts of stuff (passwords, ideas etc) and keep track of files I might need later. Never thought of using it for things like this.
