When I’m looking for something, and find it after searching, then I put it back in the first place I looked. Because that is apparently the most logical place where I expect it to be, and that is also where I would likely look for it next time.
To go along with this, while you’re still looking for the item, imagine you’ve found it, used it, and don’t need it anymore. Ok, so go put it away. Now look wherever you’re putting away the imaginary one for the real one.

Damn it, now I’ve double-lost the thing!
