Since the majority of my personal documents are digital, I simply put them in folders that make sense. I encrypt with VeraCrypt. There are some paper documents that I do not bother to digitize. I keep these in a small filing cabinet in actu

Kahneman's Thinking fast and thinking slow explains all of this. The fast-thinking part of our brain (the sub-conscious) tells us the "obvious" answer all the time. And it is WRONG. It's only by asking "stupid"
