Took me 45 minutes to find a file I saved on my own desktop

I swear the more files I save the less my brain remembers where anything is. My desktop is basically a digital junk drawer at this point. It's like organizing is just a way to hide things from myself.

Honestly, I think you're onto something but also wrong at the same time. Ngl, organizing isn't about hiding things from yourself - it's about admitting that your brain can't hold all that clutter and needs a system. The real problem is that most people try to organize based on what makes sense today, not what their lazy future self will actually check tomorrow. Tbh, if you just name files by what you'll search for in a panic later, it changes everything. Keeping a simple folder like "Stuff from last month" is way better than a tidy mess of folders you'll never open again.
