Comment on How do you keep your shit organized?
andros_rex@lemmy.world 1 week agoPhysically. Inventory would be smart, to stop me from buying shit I already have, but I’m worried that my apartment is in the early stages of something from Hoarders.
Other complication right now is that I’m still recovering from surgery - standing for fifteen minutes fatigues me and bending over is painful. It sucks, because I had taken off a week for cleaning at the end of last month and spent all of it in bed sick with the thing that sent me to the hospital.
Ok, just STOP.
Needed to be said. Take your time to recover - this other stuff can wait. You can spend time considering stuff, thinking about how to better manage your space and time, but don’t try to do anything right now.
I know, that’s hard to do (I’m a hypocrite about this, for sure) but it’s tough advice we all need (myself the most).
I want to second this. Even “minor” or outpatient surgery is extremely taxing on your body. Please let yourself heal

If you’re not a stranger to docker, you can run something called homebox.
github.com/sysadminsmedia/homebox
I use it for my home inventory and insurance.
Especially since you’re on a low physical activity recovery time, this is the perfect time to deploy and start to look at receipts and locations.
70% of the work is administrative that you can do sitting down. You’ll go through your emails or receipts and start scanning and inventory them.
Or you can just look at labels to look at how you want to organize everything. A solid inventory base is better in the long run, just takes a lot of effort to get started.
Physically I use stackable crates to organize everything, I use Hay crates, but many other manufacturers do the same thing.
