Principle Ten The Eureka Zone The majority of lost objects are right where you figure—once you take a moment to stop and figure. Others, however, are in the immediate vicinity of that place. They have undergone a displacement—a shift in location that, although minor, has served to render them invisible. Some examples: A pencil has rolled beneath a typewriter. A tool has been shoved to the rear of a drawer. A book on a shelf has gotten lodged behind other books. A folder has been misfiled, several folders away from where it belongs. Objects are apt to wander. I have found, though, that they tend to travel no more than eighteen inches from their original location. To the circle described by this eighteen-inch radius I have given a name. I call it the Eureka Zone. With the aid of a ruler (or a Eureka-Stik—click here for instructions on making one), determine the Eureka Zone of your lost object. Then explore it. Meticulously. • This is perhaps my most effective Principle. Has it worked for you? If so, congratulations—you’re a Finder! You have found your lost object, using my simple but amazing method. And now you may want a free copy of my book How to Find Lost Objects. If not, move on to Principle Eleven. |
