Is there a usable self-hypnosis trick to finding something you lost such as a phone or car keys?

Also- I asked Bing AI why people lose their keys and it said...

You can tap your unconscious mind using dowsing rods or pendulums.  Probably not going to help you find your keys.  I tried dowsing rods to find something I lost and the dowsing rods just sent me randomly wandering around my home, it was useless.

Dowsing rods and pendulums? That's a bit too much on the woo-woo side for me.

One of the few practical uses of my old technology fixed-line phone is to call my mobile phone when I forgot where I left it.
- The fixed-line phone is not totally old-school: It is turned into IP Packets within 2 meters, and optical fibre within 30 meters

For items like keys and glasses which often seem to get lost, there are a number of products which can help you find them.
- Some examples include Airtag, and TileMate
- attach them to the items of interest, and your mobile phone can help you find them

But developing a system which you perform automatically, and ends up with the item of interest in a known location certainly helps to avoid losing them in the first place!

Play act, for example you came in the front door and the alarm went off, so you put your keys in the fruit bowl.
