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 life~~ me 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.

And you forgot the most important of them all: System system!
