You gotta make sure you don't leave it around the bush,
I make sure to either have mine in my pockets or backpack pockets when I'm running errands
I also don't walk away without the charger case and/with air pods in my ear that's how my sister loses hers

Keep them in the same spot. I have my AirPods Pro case in a cover with a carabiner clip on it, it’s always either on a belt loop, or on the charger on my nightstand.
More or less the same way as keeping track of a wallet and keys. Always try to keep them together and in the same place. Give yourself a mental patdown anytime you leave home/work or get into the car to minimize time between absentmindedly putting them down where you shouldn't have.
For me, they go in the same spot just inside the door when arriving home and returned there if I use them at home. At work, they're always on my monitor stand. Before I walk out the door or get into the car, I do a mental check: Watch, phone, AirPods, keys, wallet.
Now that's not 100% reliable, because everyone gets distracted periodically even if they have built good habits. To protect them from tragedy such as a trip through the washer, I make certain I've placed the AirPods on their charger before doing laundry. This requires me to locate them (and scold myself if they're not in their spot by the door) before running the washer.
If I'm going somewhere like camping, backpacking, or traveling for work, I have a designated bag and zippered pocket in that bag where the AirPods are stored when not in use.
