You know the pop culture reference we use for someone who has misplaced their cellphone, “have you tried calling it?”

This will sound absolutely silly, but one day a friend was looking for some trinket which wasn’t a phone, and playfully I asked, “Have you tried calling it?”

They doubled down and started actually calling it, “Trinket… trinket, where are you?”

And wouldn’t you know it, within minutes they found it, and so far this has worked about 99.9% of the time.

So like using a flashlight focuses your eyes, having someone call it out loud kind of quiets the mind, too. It’s wild.
