Transitions

We've spent the last several weeks on the move, bopping around like nomads. I'm not sure I can count how many times I've packed and unpacked my suitcases. Transitions are hard, and they are stressful. My biggest issue lately has been memory, it feels like I'm losing it sometimes. I can't remember where I set anything down (because nothing has a place) and then I have to turn the whole house upside down looking for my items. It is not fun feeling like you are losing your mind. Last night I tore apart the entire bedroom looking for my computer charge cord which had been in my hand mere hours earlier. The importance of organization has never been so clear to me as it is now.

If my hairbrush has a "home" such as on top of the dresser, and I make it a habit to put it back on the dresser, then when I want my hairbrush, I know where to go first. The problem is, when visiting transient locations, my hairbrush can't have a home, and I forget where I last used it. Was it on the bathroom counter in Belgium? The dresser at my parents' place? Or the side table in our bedroom at Joe's parents' house? My hairbrush has seen as many places as I have lately, and its very hard to keep track of where it is currently.

I think I need to devise a method of organization for keeping track of my things in places where we only stay temporarily. Now all I need is an idea of how to do that.
