(dis)Order

One reason my life will always look a little cluttered, even when it’s organized:

I have to have open face shelving and storage solutions. If I can’t see the things I own, I forget they exist. Things that go in closets or cabinets disappear. I’ll rediscover them over and over, and forget them again.

So my closet stays open, my shelves are covered in books and CDs all disorganized, my art supplies all just went in a basket shelf. It looks a little messy maybe, but it means I’ll actually use these things.
