helloworld951170dWhen you place something, get in to the habit of taking a photo of it, the photo should show enough of the surroundings to recognise where it is. This then becomes your memory. Unless of course, it’s your phone that you lose!

Don't wash your car. Then you won't put your phone on the bumper because it's too dirty.

Serious hint, always place your phone in the inner pocket of your jacket or hoody and close If possible.
I personally wear suits all the time when I'm at work, I have a "gilet" (the English word escapes me for the moment, it's like an inner vest) and I have a pocket at the chest specially made for my phone to put in nicely. -
TrayKnots6470dThis isn't helpful, but I don't have ADHD and this sounds totally like something that would happen to me. Constantly lose my stuff everywhere
I wonder how some people are so certain to blame something on a disease. -
jeeper598670dGet in the habit of doing Army style gear check. A quick pat of all your pockets to ensure you’ve got your shit.

Every time I find myself doing something else I catch myself and go through my mental checklist of what I was doing, what's on fire, is everything safe, should I clean up first

I added more engine coolant in my car while using my phone's flashlight to easily see the level of the liquid. I then proceeded to place my phone on the bumper, then I moved away to wash my hands.
Once done, I entered the vehicle and drove. After a few minutes I realized I didn't take my phone back, and I could never find it again.
I was diagnosed with ADHD, and my mom said it's because of that. I often place things without being mindful, then I forget about it, remembering when I need or, in this case, when it's too late.
But I won't have this as an excuse. I will figure out a way to minimize these events. A rule of some sort, to force myself to always place X on a specific place, for example.
