Having a place for things. Never having to look for "x". Keys, wallet, which type of utensil goes in which slot in the silverware holder. I have saved so much time, avoided problems and given myself mental breaks by simply putting things where they're needed and being consistent.
This was something I realised too (or similar). Having stuff also requires having space. If you don’t have space then you really shouldn’t have stuff.
When everything has its place, organisation, cleanliness and general liveability start to take care of themselves. And probably overconsumption and hoarding too.
It’s funny, because “insufficient space” or the “disregard to space” seem to be common themes for me in terms of how modern things are being done poorly.
You shut your pretty whore mouth!!!
nervously glances at my 6 tubs of amiibo and 4 tubs of G-Scale model trains in an apartment to small to sneeze in
Oh I’ve been there. I am there. I was not virtue signalling. It was a cry for help!
So much of modern life is about about inventory management.
I like old videos of tribespeople in tropical places. There's always a guy just lying down in the jungle, doing nothing, with no stuff.
I second this.
It's great having specific spots for things. I also have a specific bag for when I go to the gym with its own set of earbuds and other gym ephemera.
I'm trying to extend/apply this in a way that if I need to put down something, I think ahead of set places in the house where I put things. That way of I've left something somewhere, it'll always be in one particular place in a room. That way I don't have to look everywhere for a thing I just put down in order to do something. I only need to look at one or two spots in each room.
