My house isn’t messy, it’s just sorted by Date Last Modified
@tenkuucastle I've heard this is also called "archaeological filing".
@tenkuucastle as long as you don't have to sort by "date last observed" 😂
@tenkuucastle My house is not messy, horizontal surfaces are a LRU cache.

@tenkuucastle

Sounds like "FINO" - First In / Never Out ...

@tenkuucastle
Sorted by date last accessed is pure chaos, yet this is the default for Google Docs on my phone.
@tenkuucastle …and some heathen has decided that mm-dd-yyyy is a valid date format. Well my partner strongly believes that our things are seasonal and that’s basically the same thing
@tenkuucastle Actually me, Date Last Saved is the only way I know anything has happened
@tenkuucastle yeah but the files are all stored in the wrong directories

@tenkuucastle Personal method: "File by pile." The items may not be in order, but they are at least in the same location.

An organizing professional called it "sorting like with like."

@c_merriweather @tenkuucastle
Critical!
"I don't know where it is, but I know a finite and countable number of places where it could be."
@tenkuucastle clean desk policy leads to messy floor approach.

... and everything has been touch'd so recently it all has the same timestamp.
