I'm afraid there's no training that old dog, new tricks
OR old ones.
It took me at least 25 years to convince him that he really didn't need to keep 3 pair of shoes in the kitchen.
He's since chosen alternate inconvenient living spaces to leave them. But they're no longer in the kitchen. (Well, hardly ever.)
Small victories . . .
He believes that the small breakfast bar in our small kitchen is his desk (office) although he has a very nice desk (in which I fitted the file drawer with labeled file folders) in a room across the hall from our bedroom. That's too inconvenient a place for him to keep his paperwork. He thinks everything he owns should be handy for him, otherwise he "won't be able to find anything."
HAH . . . that doesn't work either, otherwise he wouldn't have to buy 2, 3 or 4 of the same tool because he can't find the original one he had; and I guess that's why after 2 hours of 3 people searching the entire house and garage, the TV remote control was finally found in his truck.
Why couldn't I think of a system like that?
Works for him.
I could literally write a book.
He gives me plenty of material from which to draw inspiration.
