    The thought of going through all of my storage boxes to catalog hundreds or thousands of items so that I might search for them one day via a web UI seems a lot less productive than simply knowing that old USB supplies are in the “USB junk” box and Christmas decorations are in the “Christmas decorations” box

      I think it becomes more useful as you accumulate stuff - I get frustrated when my wife buys crap on Amazon that we already have. So while I don’t have the time or energy to sort everything in our house, I am beginning to catalogue things as we buy or find them in the hope it becomes more useful over time to find things we rarely use and/or avoid re-buying excess items
