For simple daily issues, I suggest:
Pay attention to what your hands are doing, use your eyes!
For example, I walk into the kitchen carrying my coffee mug and set it on the corner of the counter. My hand can do this without looking, and two minutes later I'm trying to find my lost coffee. (Or I'm making another cup!)
But if I take a moment to watch as I put down the coffee, seeing it next to the peanut butter jar, I automatically remember where it is when I want it.
My hands are very smart, but they are a bit too automatic. They do things when I'm not watching.
And interestingly, I often get a simple pleasure from just noticing things...putting the towel on the towel rack, the toothbrush on it's stand, the keys on the key rack...and finding them there when I need them.
