Yeah, but where does the tote live? It’s mobile and might not be where I need it when I need it. Then I go looking for it, and all of a sudden I have two problems and have difficulty getting back to what I was doing in the first place. :-)


I'm afraid the only remaining option is to wear a backpack 24/7 and reenact your favorite inventory management RPG.


You know how RPGs that don't let you stack same items in the inventory suck? They're too close to real life.


Ah but then soon enough you'll need a bag of holding or two to expand the storage space of your backpack.


stop, you are triggering my Dora the explorer PTSD.


did I feed the cows?


That’s simple enough. Just get a second tote for holding your first tote! Then you just have to keep track of the second one to be able to locate the first one.


there are times where i have nested totes. life imitates programming


Fuck. This is why making lists never works for me either. I always lose the damn list...

Just make a notes.txt file on your computer. Now which directory did I keep that in? Also gotta keep it up on your screen all the time or you forget you even have it.

Just get a paper pad with your lists on it. Then place it in a random drawer and forget you have it for 3 days. Place it in a dedicated home, forget where that is and lose it again.

Just put it on sticky notes, and put them where you will see them. Now you have 5000 sticky notes everywhere, and don't even understand what you wrote on them. Then learn to ignore all of them.

A notepad that I carry in my pocket? Now I have more shit to take with me that I will forget. What about that computer in your pocket? I already have it silenced to keep it from distracting me... No easy way to keep basic text files sync'd with my computer without using a cloud service. Where did you store that text file on Cloud Storage anyways?
