practicality

It probably comes as a bit of a surprise to anybody who's actually seen the disaster area that is my room to learn that I have any method at all for organizing all my shit, but I do. And occasionally it serves me well - I found the draft of a Rufus-fic I was working on back in the fall I thought I had lost in my folder of fic drafts and character notes. I honestly need some sort of system because I'm so totally absentminded - if I were to just put stuff down anywhere (which I do sometimes), I'd never find it again.

Of course, I think I'm better at finding things when I'm not actually looking for them. Case in point: I was trying to figure out where I put down the print copy of that Ada/Leon fic I was talking about a couple weeks ago, with all the edits that still need to be typed up and a bunch of playlists scrawled out on the back. I didn't find it. What I found instead were my clip-on sunglasses I've been looking for for weeks, and the sketch that shows all of Asher's piercings that I was sure had either been tossed out or gone through the wash in a pocket. Maybe the fic will turn up when I'm looking for something else, later....

And as before, opinions, please!
