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.

      You were 100% correct! I looked and did not find it, but the wife dug around and found it, saving my life me further headache.

      I owe her again. And thanks to you too.

    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.

      Can you elaborate on some of the less obvious ones please? And is this also just for organising or does it include actions, maintenance, etc?

        Sure There are for all three but depending on the system that can change too and most of them can be grouped together. If this is something that interests you, i would suggest you pick two systems and try them out. Really thought this is more a manifestation of my anxiety than anything practical, i have been stuck writing and rewriting systems for a week. I still think there is value in making a brief system for one or two parts of your life

        Lab system:

        tools and places for messing around; special partitions, virtual machines and new OSs on other ssd

        Library system:

        book tracking,review site, forums for discussing/recommendation/book clubs/ebook readers, ways to sync and where to get books

        Cinema system:

        where to watch, tracker for show and movies,review site, forums

        Threat level system:

        essentially what data you want to protect and from whom and tools you use

        Social system:

        what social medias do you use and where do you spend your time, what communities are you looking for online and which are available offline, support systems, both online and offline

        Share system:

        tools for sharing stuff and what not to share, collaboration tools

        Legal system:

        content warning for CSAM

        was exposed to CSAM for the second in time in my life a few weeks back and decided i need the tools to report it, that’s not really something talked about much when it comes to online safely

        Convince Convenience system: Convince

        what changes can you make around you that would cost you a little more (i.e better shaving tools, changing the shower head if its too short, using smaller spoons for measuring) that would make your life easier. Its note really a system, think of it more of a List of proposed changes

        Digital identity system:

        most of us use multiple social media accounts and have different identities(i.e what to share) for each one. there is also the question which accounts to link if thats something you want

        here is a Template i came up with

        Name System

        -Toolbox

        -Ideas List

        -work flow(for something like steps for backups)

        -check list(can have recurring task e.g backups)

        -communities
