This is not about locating misplaced files on your computer, it’s about finding real objects like the TV remote, the car keys or your pair of spectacles that you placed somewhere but can’t recollect the location now.
According to Professor Solomon, who calls himself an expert at finding lost objects, missing items can be successfully located if the search is conducted systematically and with a cool mind.
"It is possible to look directly at a missing object and not see it. This is due to the agitated state of mind that often accompanies a misplacement. Go back and look again. It may be staring you in the face."
There’s a book with the same title – "How to Find Lost Objects" – that illustrates some simple yet effective principles to help you locate misplaced objects.
This book was earlier sold for $7 but the author recently released it as a free PDF e-book [5MB]. You can download the PDF or read contents of the book online via PDFMeNot.
And in case you don’t want to spend time reading that 122 page PDF book, check the same 12 principles shown in the form of video here.
