I had an idea while commenting elsewhere. We—or at least I—keep looking for an organization system which suits us so well that we can keep using it and stop looking. But if the systems itself are interesting enough to explore, that might be the wrong goal. When you’re trying a new method of keeping your tasks arranged, do you find yourself more productive and interested in the work you have to do? If so, why not exploit the novelty, and deliberately change up the format/interface of your system every once in a while, so as to stay excited about it?
