No, but I'm very careful where things go. I do a lot of prep work, put things in specific order, and keep a dish for utensils next to the stove when I'm cooking. I also tell everyone to get out of the kitchen when I'm working and I won't start cooking anything more than just heating something up in the microwave if there's anyone else in there. I learned this from my ex. We kept a wicker basket by the door, and car keys went in that basket when we walked in the house. In seven and a half years of marriage neither one of us lost our keys in the house. Intention is the crux of the solution here -- don't put something down in a random place, make it sit where you want it to be, and make sure there's some logic to it. For instance, when I'm cooking something I'll line up the ingredients in order of what goes in when, and then I'll add them and move things up so I know what's next. Often I can also rinse things and put them in the dishwasher while I'm working, so the kitchen is almost as clean when I'm done as when I started. It's about creating a process, whatever one works for you, and following it. I've gotten a lot more ordered since I lost my sight, that's for sure.
