I think I organize my life to require less organization.
Organization is a tool not a goal.
What does it take to make a task self-organizing?
Can I delegate organization to habit, routine, or ritual?
In the past, I thought "I will sit at the computer and organize the N problems of my life."
Thus I had N+1 problems.
YMMV.
Good luck.
- phkahler 3y agoSimilarly, automate things in a way that doesn't really create a "maintain my automation" task, or at least minimally so. Overall simplification.
- brudgers 3y agoI don’t automate. Automation is incidental complexity. If automating X is an improvement, X isn’t worth doing.
- phito 3y agoThat makes absolutely no sense.
- brudgers 3y agoIf X is worth doing, doing X is worth doing. Automating X is not doing X. That’s the whole point of automating X. Simply not doing X is the simplest way to not do X. But I am probably thinking of what “worth” means in a different way than you are. And I am ok with life not making sense in the way your comment implies.
