Organization is one of the byproducts of being a “systems“ person.

It has many benefits but it also, as you perfectly mentioned, has it drawbacks.

I like this idea because it will allow your ideas to “marinate“ a bit before you quickly put them in the file cabinet, close the file cabinet and lock it.

If you don’t use it for a couple of weeks, put it in the cabinet but by keeping it out a bit, I can see it being more top of mine and the odds of it being used or greater

For me, it allows me to just throw a bunch of ideas out there. About 80% are not good ideas... at least, not at first. Many of my best ideas come when I combine them with other things I have in there.
