Without adequate and thoughtful thing knowledge and thingputing your material environment will degenerate into an oozy messy swamp of neglected and abandoned dreams and ambitions. The solution is containerization. Put everything into a box of the right shape, size, and durability. You don’t even need to get disciplined about labeling, inventorying, and tracking. Just boxing will get you a long way. It’s the 20% action that delivers 80% of the returns. If you have adhd use transparent flat boxes that allow visible single-layer containment and don’t hide stacks behind stacks, otherwise you’ll forget what you have and rebuy too many things.

I was well in to the second paragraph before I realized you weren’t talking metaphorically about the base ecosystem
