I often find something long-lost whilst looking for something I have just lost...
Found it! I slid in the backseat of the van a few days ago and over this bucket of marking flags. I'm guessing they grabbed the lanyard/pocket clip.
Devastated......... Just lost my Crunch!!.......
Just got home from work, and look what I found hiding!!

Whelp, almost lost my charge again! Took it fishing and set it down on the handrail of a bridge while I retied. I remember telling myself "make sure you don't leave it there" I didn't notice for an hour that it missing, took the 20 minute drive back across town and it was laying right where I left it!!

I remember telling myself "make sure you don't leave it there" I didn't notice for an hour that it missing, took the 20 minute drive back across town and it was laying right where I left it!!A little trick with embedded commands... The mind tends to remember positives more than negatives. The embedded positive command in "make sure you don't leave it there" is "leave it there". The brain easily forgets the negative. The reason this works, is the brain imagines doing the bad thing in order to know what it's trying to avoid. That positive command that you wish to avoid is retained, and can become stronger than the negative that's supposed to cancel it out, and the action to be avoided gets confused as a goal.If you get into the habit of telling yourself to "remember to pick that up" instead, there's no negative to forget, and more chance of remembering to do that simple positive action.It can also be a useful trick with with trainees and kids too. Tell them what NOT to do, and you can be pretty certain they'll do it. Tell them what TO do instead, and there's more chance they will.Just thought I'd throw that in
