I got air tags as a birthday gift (felt like there was a message being sent with that lol) and it has been really helpful, particularly with finding my air pod/earbuds. You do have to have your phone to operate the app, though, and when I inevitably lose THAT we’re back at square one.
I love our AirTags. We got them initially for our luggage and backpacks while traveling. But now they are fully integrated into our system to help us find our stuff. I've never put my phone in the fridge, but I'm constantly putting it down, let's say, in the basement, a place I wouldn't typically leave it. Until my sister mentioned I could use my watch to find it, it was a problem.
This piece was so relevant to my partner and I. I am turning 80 this year, and he is 87. We are very fit and healthy for our ages, but definitely the lost words are a thing for us. Putting items by the door that you want to take is definitely something we do, especially since we each have our own home. It’s tricky, however, if what you want to take is something that needs refrigerating like leftovers from dinner. When I met my partner 15 years ago, he had this trick of putting his car keys on top of the leftover container in the refrigerator. He wasn’t going go anywhere without those keys, and so the leftovers always go with him too.
That is a genius idea! Putting the keys on top of the leftovers. Finding the memory aids that work for you is key. I'm a list maker, constantly adding and removing "todos."

Lots of cross-cueing in this household! There always seems to be a search of the day as well! 😃
Right! Now that I understand cross-cueing is totally normal, I’m not freaking out. Like I said, it is a Walz!
I love Air Tags. They are a godsend. And I take a photo of my grocery list because I know I will lose my grocery list by not my phone.
We use the AnyList app! It’s great. You can share your list and it remembers what you buy.
I use to write our list on paper but would always forget it.
