I'm pretty much exactly the opposite. A problem seems huge and daunting until I subdivide it into steps which I can complete in under half a day.

- gtirloni 10y agoIf you have hundreds of thousands of files to categorize and put into folders, you will be subdividing forever. It's much easier to put everything in as few piles as possible and rely on searching and other methods. I think that was the intention of that comment.
- vertex-four 10y agoThe point is that I'm not going to subdivide the files, but subdivide the tasks - "I'm going to search for all my personal letters to mum this morning", or "I'm going to look manually through 5,000 email subjects for things that look interesting".
