Heh, this is pretty much how I live my life really. Coins go in the obvious coin place coz if I put ‘em anywhere else I’ll never remember where I put ’em.
See also: Proper Pocket Discipline. Everything that goes in pockets has an assigned pocket. No more searching for lighters! No more worry about keys scratching phone screens.
My books are in alphabetical order these days.
I suspect having a system for these things will also leave you better off if/when you go senile. If you’ve always looked in the same place for your coins for 60 years it’ll be more ingraned.
pocket discipline? you mean everyone doesn’t do this?! there are people walking around right now with their possessions in random pockets and they themselves might not know what pocket an item is in until they check? MADNESS. brb, accosting strangers.
Upvoted because it sounds like excellent rejection-therapy like training! More random variations on the theme “accost strangers and try to convince them to live their lives differently”?
Edit: in before “not posting a lose sentence fragment followed by a question mark”. :p
My books are emphatically not in any order—I enjoy the serendipity of the search, and rarely do I need something specific quickly (and when I do, the internet usually provides what is necessary).
Edited to add: This does not generalize well to pockets.
