one big list with a couple tags" is basically how I organize my whole life now lol. It's like the more you try to force things into perfect categories, the more stuff just ends up in a pile anyway. My closet used to have this entire color coded system but now everything's just "kinda on the floor near the bed" which is faster ngl.

Yeah, the 'obvious choice' always has that way of turning into a life lesson you didn't sign up for. It's like when you decide to take the 'faster' checkout line at the store and it turns out the person in front of you has a coupon for every single item they bought. Now you're just standing there watching your life tick away while they haggle over 15 cents. The shortcut that ends up twice as long is basically the universe's way of reminding you that patience is a thing you should have learned by now.
