  • Consider a spring loaded drawer divider. Keeping everything from sloshing around can make a surprising amount of space.

    Drawer with dividers

    My drawer in the image used to be a nightmare. Everything used to move around and it would jam when opening sometimes. Adding dividers got it organized enough to leave a third of it free, which is now the rightmost section that’s filled with tea.

    It’s been over a year and I still feel a small sense of joy when I open it sometimes. There’s still messes of junk in the back left and right, but they stay put.


  • On top of the definition provided by the other commenter, it’s vaguely analogous to shopping for something, and opening a new tab for everything that looks vaguely good. Then doing a pass to winnow down and close items.

    There’s also structure for organizing things that are related. So if you weren’t sure if you wanted a toaster or a toaster oven, you could spatially have two separate groups.

    It only clicked for me once I saw someone else use it. I’m used to it just being hostile to search traffic.



  • Not OP, but most of it.

    Tutorials I might need to go a bit slower, remembering broad strokes isn’t enough, and detailed steps in order is probably too much, but that would be true at 1x speed as well.

    For videos generally I watch almost everything at 2x or higher. Headphones help, it would be much harder if there were any competing audio stimulus. If I’m forced to go at 1x I retain almost nothing.
