I have a memory technique that works, but it only works if you know you´re going to need this thing.
If you just dump something, thinking that you´re storing it away and you dont care about it when you lose it, it will likely remain lost or you will have to do extensive searching for it.
However, if you realize the thing you´re storing somewhere or putting somewhere out of the way is something you will need later, then you can use this technique. I do this for keys, memory cards and adapters, wallet, controllers, cables and such that I dont need for a while but I know for sure I will need them later.
First of all, it will help to store all relevant things together. So I would bunch up all snes cables and adapters in one box, all keys in one chain, all usb camera and phone cables in one box, etc
Next, lets say I´m putting my keys down somewhere while I work with a computer upgrade. (dont want big keychain in my pocket or in my neckchain). I don´t just put it down, I look at it for five seconds, I imagine in my head that the keys are exploding violently and shattering into pieces. Now I can forget about the keys for a while and concentrate on what I am doing. Then I will do other things, eventually I will go to sleep.
Next morning, I will awake late, I will be in a hurry to get to the work... KEYS? Where??!?! Wait... I know what to do!... Did I detonate them yesterday, I think I did! Where did those keys explode yesterday? And then I remember because it´s such a strong mental image of the keys exploding and I will know exactly where they are.
