... the easy way to reorganize

Everyone knows the old saw: "You always find the thing you're looking for in exactly the same place... the last place you look." 

 Here is a way to naturally re-organize things so you can, eventually, always find what you're looking for in the first place you look. 

After you've found what you wanted, and you're done with it, put it back in the first place you looked. That's where you thought it should be, so that's where it should live. 

If you keep doing this, you'll begin to recognize where you think the different types of things should be, so new objects can go there directly. 

It's a silly little thing, but it works.

That is such a simple, great system. Now if I could just remember to use it.
