Keeping Things Catch-22

I've got a system of keeping things that ensures that I never lose them. However, sometimes, I lose the container or bag that's keeping those things, or I forget which compartments I've kept them in.

When I reach into my pocket and find that my keys or my handphone isn't there, I'm usually screwed because my supposedly fool-proof keeping system causes me to not attend to the item's steps, so there isn't any memory whatsoever left to trace.
