Best thing of new penoid card game day is filing the new cards in the correct place (one box for each side, subdivided by faction, then in alphabetical order within each subtype within that faction).
I’m currently making a big paper file of all the documents I need for my hearing next week and it’s very satisfying.
Bad at organising other things, mainly my life (I had actually triple-booked myself this evening). My job is basically professionally organising the books and I’m probably shit at it.
i.e. making a huge spreadsheet of when everything is meant to happen and when press day is and what stage everything is at, and then hassling people about where their stuff is and why they haven’t sent it in (or done it right), but crucially without pissing them off if they are a paying advertiser.
We’ve still got loads of unpacked boxes from when we moved.
I like sorting through stuff, but only if I can do it in one hit, and I have enough space to lay everything out in little piles. Getting an hour at a time and a corner of a desk to pick through half a box is no fun and never gets me anywhere.
It’s (genuinely) one of the reasons why I’m looking forward to the Christmas break - I’ll have the house to myself and can just plough on with it.
Do you not spend hours trying to decide what genre things are, or is your collection more clearcut? Here is the black metal, here is the happy hardcore.
Fairly clearcut tbh, top shelves are for hip-hop and go from instrumental to more soulful/organic stuff via boom-bap etc, this then turns into old motown/soul records which turns into modern r&b/soul stuff.
Bottom shelves are largely guitar records going from ROCK to emo to indie-schmindie stuff to singer-songwriter stuff.
It’s largely a meaningless system based entirely on my own perceptions but it works for me.
