At one point in my life I had the Stuff in boxes in three states. Don’t worry, there is a fair amount of deleting going on while I defrag.

The tradition of filing in two dimensions (think bookcases, shelves) and limited 3D (filing cabinets, drawers) is restricting. I know where things are in space; I vector. Once someone tidies, or forces you to tidy, the vectors lose their uniqueness; stuff goes missing!

You’re far from alone. ;-)

Fortunately, she has always kept her hands from my computer…

If only my study was as organised as my data…

Mind you I can’t defrag, back up or archive the crap in my study; which makes it harder ;)

Like everyone else, I get sloppy in IM.
