"knoll"? I am not familiar with that word used that way and am not finding a definition online. Is that slang from somewhere?

- piva00 5y agoIf you search "knolling" you might have an easier time. It's a process of arranging things for photography but could mean more generally "arranging things neatly".
- Etheryte 5y agoAs far as I know, the term was originally used to mean roughly "always be arranging like objects in parallel or 90-degree angles" [0] [1]. The idea is to keep your workplace tidy as you work, meaning that you keep your tools and working pieces organized as you go. Taking pictures of knolled workspaces etc is a more recent addition from the social media generation if I'm not mistaken.

Side note, I also recommend the main "Ten Bullets" video by Tom Sachs (of which the link above is for bullet 8, "Always Be Knolling"); it feels a little over-zealous and pretentious at times, but there's something about it that makes me want to go back and watch it every couple years for inspiration...
