I have odd things stashed in places that aren’t logical, but I know where they are.
Then, one day, during a re-organizational frenzy, I move one of these things to a logical spot.
And promptly lose it.
Anyone else do this?
So many inner-voices show up to tackle the mundane and the life-changing; and they don’t always agree.
Yep! 🤣

Constantly. Another problem I have is that my brain often reverts back to where I put it, three or four houses ago!

It has happened. Sometimes that logical place happened to be in the donation box at the thrift store! Oops.

If it’s something you really don’t use or need, doing that is equivalent to my “trick trash” trick for getting rid of stuff.

But if it’s something I actually use, then my reorganization to a “new and improved special” place results in me spending way more time looking for the dang thing than I intended!

Yep, and that’s why I drag my feet about getting too organized.

A bit of push-back to Marie Kondo perhaps?

Yup it happens.
It takes me back to my childhood days, when I would be told to clean my room, but I liked my room in a constant creative mess. It fueled me. I knew where everything was and cleaning was a waste of time. After a while my mother/ grandmother would break and clean. Then i would come back from school and ask them where everything was. I could not find a single thing.
I’m a bit more organized nowadays.
I like it when I put something away to keep secret. The place becomes so secret that even I can’t find it.

Yup. I refer to those secret places as my “special” places. All my special stuff ends up there, along with my missing dryer socks, lol!
