When was the last time you searched your home to find a misplaced item? Maybe it was your car keys, wallet, pair of shoes, or a favorite toy of your child’s? Whatever that item was, chances are you looked between 1 and 10 minutes, which is the average time we spend looking for something we’ve lost.
Under 10 minutes doesn’t sound too bad. But if we zoom out over the course of a normal lifespan, we spend more than 6 1/2 months of our lives, equivalent to almost 5,000 hours, looking for things in our homes.
