Do you have them? Not referring to people/ running a dept or company..Talking about having your glove box organized, your refrigerator, your garage.
It’s been a lifelong pursuit..And today, I think there is hope.
Downsizing my stuff makes it possible..I was drowning in stuff…

Finding stuff when you need it is liberating…
 
I'm kind of a neat freak for a heterosexual male. I've noticed that most people with my profession (firefighter) tend to be. We tend to complain about how messy our wives are then lovingly stroke each other's mustaches. Is normal.
 
Went into the study the other day in need of sticky tape to wrap a Christmas present. We have so much music equipment I would feel rubbish just ditching any of it. Same with vinyl and books.

Just throw all of your memories away like they meant nothing?
 
No
People (mostly work related) keep try to offer me the chance to learn ways to be better organized

I successfully dodged all of them so far
 
My husband didn't lose 19 years of his belongings like I did but he would be fucking gutted if he lost the 22 years of beautiful memories we've built together.

Hundreds of photo albums, ornaments, cookery books stained with sauce where we've changed the recipe due to experience.
 
I have the worst organization skills. I have started selling some of my old stuff i dont use and it just takes space Like video games and dvds and books. I dont collect those anymore though external hard drive can save you a lot of space.
 
The important stuff is organized, the stuff I don't care about isn't. I know exactly what's in my fridge or workshop, I can tell you there's 8 oranges in the bottom drawer and where my #2 JIS screwdriver is, but I don't know where half my clothes are or how many sets of sheets I have for my bed.

Hated that shit. Franklin Covey, Harvard Business, etc... I don't care for download sessions in general.
 
everything is on the calendar for me
if I come up with ideas, goes into google keep
when I'm at work, ideas go into notepadd++
vacation planning on a spreadsheet
passwords saved into keepass, and I've got my own decryption method
important documents, trusts, passports, immuno recs,password file, on dropbox
