Very good twelve principles from Professor Solomon book and web site:

1. Don’t Look for It - until you have some ideas where to look
2. It’s Not Lost—You Are - there are no missing objects — only unsystematic searchers.
3. Remember the Three C’s - Comfort, Calmness, and Confidence
4. It’s Where It’s Supposed to Be
5. Domestic Drift - where did you last have it?
6. You’re Looking Right at It - look again - calmly
7. The Camouflage Effect - under, hidden, behind, covered

9. Look Once, Look Well - search thoroughly so you won’t have to keep coming back
10. The Eureka Zone - Immediate vicinity/Eigtheen inches zone
11. Tail Thyself
