Living with ADHD means life is an ongoing game of hide and seek — except I’m always the seeker, and my stuff is really good at hiding.
Here’s a funny look at the top 10 things I’ve misplaced this week (and yes, I eventually found most of them).
1️⃣ My Keys
Classic. I had them in my hand, then I blinked… gone. Spoiler: They were in the fridge next to the juice.
2️⃣ My Phone
How can I lose something that’s basically glued to me? Bonus points: I used my phone’s flashlight to look for my phone.
3️⃣ A Single Shoe
Just one. The other one sat by the door like, “I don’t know where he went either.”
4️⃣ My Coffee Mug
Found it — three hours later — cold and sad on the bookshelf. Why did I put it there? No idea.
5️⃣ The TV Remote
Under the couch? Nope. In my bag? Nope. In the bathroom? Yep.
6️⃣ A Pen
I set it down to grab paper. Both disappeared. Magic!
7️⃣ My Grocery List
Made a list to stay focused. Lost the list before I left the house. ADHD: 1, Me: 0.
8️⃣ The Time
Not an object, but somehow I looked up and an hour had passed. Where did it go?!
9️⃣ My Sunglasses
On my head the whole time. Obviously.
🔟 My Train of Thought
Started with a task, ended up reorganizing my sock drawer. Happens daily.
How I’m Learning to Laugh at It
ADHD means life is full of these moments. Sure, it can be frustrating, but it’s also funny — and I’m learning to be kinder to myself.
👉 Tip: I’ve started using bright-colored holders, hooks, and baskets so my stuff is easier to spot.
👉 Tip: I also make digital lists — because paper lists like to vanish.
