What mistakes did you make, and what advice do you have for others to be careful?

What are the best and worst ways of storing a seed in your opinion?
I have lost my seed phrase before but later I found it. I lost it because I was alone in the house and family was on vacation for the last Christmas Holiday and since I was alone I drop the seed phrase paper under the parlour center table. And I forgot to remove it so when the children came they saw it there and use it the book to write their nursery rhymes and misplaced the book as we. So for the time when I wanted to use the seed to login to another device I could not find it again and I look for this paper for three months and finally I saw it under the bed. And the advice I will give here is that even though you are alone in the house always keep your seed phrase in save place and secret place because you don't know when a visitor will come to the house and picked the seed phrase from your house. Always be security conscious.
Even making yourself that storing or putting up those keys in your own bedroom there's still risks for it to be misplaced on which this is something that would really be having those kind of instances.
This is why myself i did put up my keys on different 3 flashdrives on which one is on the attic of my own bedroom and one is placed on my own personal bag and one is placed on other parts of the house.
Of course its not really that out of reach of other people even with other family members on which we can really be able to make ourselves that confident that it cant be known by other people
whether family members or not.

So far i havent lost mine after 9 years here on crypto space on which i could say that it does still work. I havent that purchased some hardware wallet even those
things i do have doubts that they were totally that not that exposed or have known those pk's or having that tight security or whatsoever.
