Lover of Junk

The only problem about being a packrat is that you acquire too much junk.

The benefit with being a compulsive organizer is that most of the junk is in specific places with tags or (my new obsession) organized on a spreadsheet.

The only problem with being a compulsive organizer and keeper of all things minutely significant is that you eventually do run out of things to organize, and then you feel useless and depressed until you find more junk to store.

It's a vicious cycle.

Maybe we should always keep one box of messy, unorganized stuff that never ever gets organized. That way there is always a level of comfort knowing, "Hey, there might be a real treasure in there, and someday, if I get desperate, I could find it!"

That's a fabulous idea. I agree.
