After cluttering up the top of my drawer for 6 months I got inspired to put it away with a bunch of other things. Except it’s gone. Sigh.
Maybe you already put it away. Check the place where you’d probably put it.
You were 100% correct! I looked and did not find it, but the wife dug around and found it, saving
my lifeme further headache.I owe her again. And thanks to you too.
Ha! That’s hilarious! I’m glad I could help!
I lost a sticker I specifically separated from the other stickers to take to work to attach to a magnet so I could have it stuck to my tool box without having to commit to actually sticking it to my tool box and I am so sad about that, so I feel your pain.
I’m sure it’s in a very very safe place I will never check again.
I been having the ocds lately. I keep wanting to catalogue everything i have from Digital to Physical
even came up with the idea that everything, objects and actions, can categories into systems:
Systems
- File system
- Partition system
- Backup system
- Lab system
- Task manager system
- Note taking system
- Library system
- Cinema system
- health system
- Learning system
- Contact, calendar,task manager and email system
- Social system
- Threat level system
- Emergency system
- Contact system
- Journal system
- Share system
- internet data quota management system
- Paper document management system(and its backup)
- Home economics system
- Savings system
- Research system
- Browser system
- App (web vs mobile vs PC) system
- Archive system
- Time management system
- Security system
- Legal system
- Safety system
- Convince system
- Hygiene system
- Tool system
- Digital Storage system
- Linux system
- cleaning systems
- organization system
- inventory system
- de-cluttering system
- digital identity system
- account system
- writing system
- social media posting system
- review system
And you can further group and fuse systems but keeping a record of your every breath is its own hell.
I never let my drawers get cluttered though, unlike my mom. I even go through it with her to organize and de-clutter(for context: this specific drawer doesn’t contain clothes or her own personal stuff, like screw drivers, hammers, blood glucose meters, first-aid stuff, balance meters etc, making it a mini-storage unit of the house). I even label my own drawers.
This post gives me anxiety…now where’s that thing I left on my desk 4 weeks ago
