Two solutions. Have less "stuff" or be consistent where you put things. Do as I say, not as I do. Over the last 3 months I spent a cumulative 6-7 hours looking for my passport in anticipation of my upcoming January Paris (and April Australia) trips. I clearly remembered sitting in my desk chair last June. leaning to the right, and placing the passport in travel wallet into... Well it wasn't in the drawer where it should be. So I looked through all drawers, several times, every pocket in every briefcase and camera bag, every coat pocket, etc. Finally found it on my third (near panic) concentrated search, within about 12 inches above where I thought it should be. Had put it on top of the cabinet , in a shoe box of misc blank CD's, rather than in a drawer. Along the way I found a couple of lenses to sell, $250 in Traveler's Checks, a €10 note, the (expired) paperwork for a lens rebate, and various other stuff. Asking my wife for help is typically worthless. "Do you know where X is?" I ask. She has a predictable reply: "well, where did you put it?"
