THE PROBLEM
A problem that I have had recently is I just didn’t know how to physically and mentally keep track of my keys and my wallet. No matter what, I almost always seemed to be mindlessly setting them down somewhere when I got home from school or work and didn’t stop to consider that maybe that isn’t the best place for them, because of course, I’m not going to remember where they are when I need them again later. But alas, I didn’t give it another thought anyway.
THE SOLUTION
With time I was able to get my hands on a new product we had begun to carry at work (AT&T) which is called “Tile” – a little fob (that runs on a battery and works with Bluetooth to connect to any smart device) that can be stowed away in the sleeve of a wallet or attached to a keyring, even stick one on that TV remote you can never seem to find; the possibilities are endless! There was finally my moment to end the countless hours of searching for my wallet and keys (and I had the opportunity to get a pack of 4 at a discount, a definite plus indeed) so I took that opportunity and ran with it and haven’t looked back since! It has been a wonder when I now lost track of my keys or wallet to simply be able to pull out my phone, launch the tile app, click the “find” button, and walah, the tile on my keys are in my wallet is now ringing, making it that much easier to find them. A Tile user also has the option to locate where the tile was last seen by the smart device through GPS, being able to guide you right back to your misplaced or forgotten possessions.
If you are a person like me, always misplacing or losing some type of valuable possession, go ahead and do yourself a favor, pick up a few tiles. You won’t regret it.
Pro tip: if a big holiday is on the approach, consider holding off until that time comes because Tiles always go on sale during those times.
