> Don't expect the computer to organize you. If you have a messy desk, you will have a messy computer. Nicely put. This has been the biggest invisible wall whenever people sing praises of some particular organizational tool. It’s easy to learn the tool if one has a clear notion of “legibility” to impose on data and processes, but that organizational clarity seems to be much harder to pick up. Nobody really talks about that, and I suspect it’s also a much harder thing to communicate as it gets close to the core of one’s perspective towards knowledge and activity. I also wonder whether there’s some tradeoff in being legibly organized, and seeing liminal possibilities.
