Your uncle's story hits home! Over-organizing can create blind spots where you trust the system too much. For instance, my friend color-codes her notes but spends ages updating the key instead of reviewing the material. In contrast, my scattered sticky note wall lets me see connections instantly. The goal should be quick access, not perfect labels. Sometimes a bit of chaos is just efficient memory!

I always look for flat rocks instead, @park.xena, way less soggy.
