Know thyself as compensation for ditziosity

I've always been pretty much a ditz, drifting off, forgetting things. I'm going to be a champion airhead when I'm a really old lady.

But, here's what I figure. You can learn to compensate for your forgetfulness. Like, if you misplace something, have zero recollection of putting it somewhere, you can think, "Now, I if were me, what might I do with a thing like that to keep it really 'safe.'"
