1. You have lost a thing. You look for it in $places. These are the results of your "where-should-I-look-for-it" algorithm - WRITE THEM DOWN.
2. You buy a replacement thing.
3. DO NOT THINK ABOUT WHERE TO PUT IT (this would trigger the "where should I put it" algorithm. Instead, store it in one of the $places recorded above.
4. Next time you need it, you will activate "where-should-I-look-for-it", and as long as this algorithm gives the same results every time (if not, you're screwed) then you should be able to find it in one of $places.
