 How To Sort Your Storage Boxes By Finding a Level Flat Sorting Area Level With The Boxes and Keep all your Stuff Without Room Clutter!

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR EASY SORTING OF YOUR STUFF


Here's a trick I found I about how to find my stuff....


  The idea is to balance at the center of your computation. By this I mean instead of making 52 trips if you drop your pack of smokes or drinks all those trips are reduced and you dramatically improve your ability to search, find, and clean as far as decluttering or sorting or stuff may go.




To Search is to Clean Is to Find Is to Know Is To Save! Act as Save as If!


HOW TO BALANCE AT THE CENTER OF WHAT YOU HOPE YOU FIND.


This can be done quite easily by keeping your box or other shelf which is piled in a stack that looks simple and clean and using it where you reduce the trip. I keep my boxes stacked as high as my bed and then to find if I have any outfits in my box that I like I simply either put the tote on my bed and flop all the outfits out or equivalently take the outfits at the same level and flop them over to my bed and back and forth fast so I find them and then restack the box.


If you hope you'll find other stuff you don't have to hang your outfits on the floor..all you have to do is flip over the boxes and find the box you want to sort and put it on the bed and sort it this way and finish when you reboot the boxes.


 Not only is this good for search you can clean out your boxes as you go and find results because you can actually reach boxes later on without having to guess what the world's in them because they're lower boxes.


 That is to say, while you can look more often you can also take more action and this enables you to clean out your boxes as well as just search to find stuff in them. 


 So when you return your box is sorted well for a higher speed find..this also simplifies your other events. As you find stuff of the same type, instead of in lots of boxes all around, you can move the random collection of the same stuff in lots of areas to a simple source.


You'll be surprised at what you may find, the reason being you couldn't find it if you're clean because you have to open the box and all the stuff otherwise will be over the floor if you don't use a reduced trip event. I got this idea because my landlord said that I had to be clean so I had shoe clutter by my bed before where I had my outfits and my shoes.


At first I would kneel down and then put all the stuff up on the bed and then sort them from there and while this was easier than bending over and picking them up one by one it wasn't as easy as putting my shoes in the lowest shelf of my chest.


 This is by way of what's called the 20/80 rule. For most of your stuff you only use 20% of it or 1/5 if my math is up! So the only shoes I use for summer are often rug  snowshoes!  And I also have just a few socks that fit in this lower shelf.


 The trip is much shorter from the shelf to my shoes so this really is an easy way to reduce shoe clutter.




 From there I went on to realize that if my box is at the same height as the bed where I'm sorting my outfits and from summer to winter it's much more easy to find and sort.


 And then I realized that you can use it as a Central Station for your boxes and when I get enough food from the store when I  Choo Choo (I use a backpack which is easy and simple to carry) it's easier to sort without shelf clutter when you bring it into your kitchen by just pouring it all into the large box and pick it up and stack it the closet, or I use other areas for access exercises.


(For perishable food I use a large tote in my icebox and all the clutter is stopped. To use it I make it easy to slide in and out by using another poly box at the right height below it.


 For weight control I  take my food and often put it in a box in another room.


 By doing this I can get exercise trying to find the box if it's stacked under other boxes maybe not too much but at least some lifting the box. And this is in hopes that it will make me more conscious of when and what I would be eating.


One good thing about lifting these boxes like this is that it gives you considerable calorie burning power and it stresses your muscles enough to condition them in a way that you can't get any other way. According to Encyclopedia Americana if you do this everyday or so it keeps your muscles in shape. It doesn't matter how much time you lift the weight just so you're lifting something like this to keep your muscles conditioned. Even so for use of the boxes down to 5 packs a day! You want to load them without too much weight but enough for mass to have weight by science to make them easy to use in and out..For example my encyclopedias are heavy so L-Z is on the floor and A-L is above and more at the level of my other shelf so at least to access them isn't a hazard. The light words are above!


Actually I found my encyclopedias themselves by putting them in a set of boxes so I can lift them A-Z. It's worth like 30,000 since I've always treasured my encyclopedias because I can give myself a good general education.


My encyclopedias were in two or three different places where I couldn't reach them down in my bed shelves under heavy blankets but after I put them in the boxes they're right in reach.


This is a great way to spend some of your time offline because just like the internet you're asking a question and an answer but you're learning the classics without so much of the internet noise.. and conditioning my muscles and my brain my higher learning muscle!



One possibility I consider is what I call the dieters jukebox as I say on my other post.


This would have boxes with all the meals in them locked up from day to day and you can't get access to them except by a special mouth guard.


While the new weight loss drugs like Wegovy do work currently they are expensive, perhaps hundreds of dollars a week and if you quit taking them you gain the weight back.


 While they are considered to be safe I want to wait for several years before ask

 my doctor about this because of the high cost and for more long-term research to make sure they're safe. I think for the next few years to bring me down to my healthy weight is possible since I'm a bit luxury sized, what size is luxury! 


 I'm using the older fashion methods like this including the Dieters Jukebox which is related to this type of sorting event.


You can CLICK HERE for my Dieter's Jukebox in depth discussion or if you like you can see the same link at the end of this post.


  


 This also works for your cabinets and shelves, if it's a drawer move it where its easy to sort and if it's a cabinet I just toss the stuff in my box and move it to my bed, sort, and return. 


 One good thing you might like.. is now that you can find what's in your box and you toss out a third of it you have extra storage room in your boxes.


 If you can't have room to maneuver with your boxes you could try to simply sort the stuff in one box into tote bags and then I use this box for maneuvering room for like removing the trash after I sorted it on the level platform. So I have one box I'm sorting and I sort the trash after I first remove the two eco cloth grocery bags from the other box I use it as a transport area for the trash...and then after I sorted the main box I also put the bags back into the transport box and I'm using it so it stores the stuff that was originally in it even while temporarily I'm using it to transport the trash from the first box.


This is often the way I found that I go over all my boxes in my house and you may find that to be complete you might want to do more than just one or two at a time. This is because you often you can't know what's in them beforehand and you find stuff that goes in other boxes. 


 As you sort through all your boxes or shelves be prepared to change some habits when you find out all the things that you have that's didn't know you had. When your ship comes in it's time to do some unloading. You have the shore on your wave number bed!


 You might want to use a surface like a poly sheet to sort them on the level area which will be clean etc.


In the evolution of life as Carl Sagan says in the giant bestseller Cosmos they don't know  why it took so long for life to evolve from one celled bacteria to big beasts and vegetables. My belief has been the balancing point for computation is near the molecular level where the in and out  waves balance more. So only with pressure by evolution when the life on the beach wrapped all around since there was no life on the land or the water but just the shore, as the pressure for competition for resources wrapped back around did the smaller life then have enough incentive to evolve to a more advanced level..


 Even so higher forms of life have been so successful because they have neurons which also compute at that same molecular level just like reducing the trips gives more control of the rest of your boxes, the storage building is a box of hi resolution in a solution box! Or in a family business when mom has a sign marked "Suggestion Box With Hugs" over the copy machine..


 I've read where they say if you have to spend a half an hour decluttering every day you've got way too much stuff. I said no because if I bought all my stuff I must have thought enough of it so I'm not willing to lose all my stuff just to declutter and have nothing that I own. 


 I see other sites that say to declutter the room simply get a box and carry it around and pick up all the stuff and then sort it but this doesn't sound like landlords I've been living with because they know lots. My belief is most of the clutter should be in the boxes and your room shouldn't be cluttered to begin with. 


 Anytime you want to use your stuff you spend a small extra amount of time you're sorting it which is easier with the boxes too. This might cost you a bit more time sorting it.. Even so once you set it up it's  easy to do and this was the only way to make sure I do what my landlord wants. Your ideas about what's in your boxes becomes much more like what it is.

Otherwise the clutter multiplies up..

Life is so bad but compared to what, even a cheese sandwich can't edit a box typed so well!


 Or think of this as getting $10,000 worth of stuff like I have in the boxes and still being clean!


To do this you want to keep your more important boxes near the top of your stack and also close at hand for rapid access.


One trick I use to sort my boxes is using paper tape inside then to bind things like socks electronics or wire clutter etc. This can rapidly simplify a lot of small clutter.


You can even label it with a marker. Like so many people at one time I tried using labels to find what's in my boxes but labels are nowhere near as good as being able to sort them fast and easy this way. Even so labels are nice extra add-on for quite a bit more speed of sorting.


 You want to put all the stuff that's most useful like outfits in the nearest box to your bed or other sorting area at that height or most optimally.


Since I can't do this with all my stuff for more distant larger shelves or boxes deeper in my storage area etc the trick is to use like eco grocery cloth bags and put your ziplocs or small poly boxes in the bags and put these in your shelf. These are then easy to pull out and sort on your level sorting area and then return.


REDUCING USE... ANOTHER IMPORTANT TRICK FOR A CLEAN HOUSE


 This involves using like shields to reduce use of your shielded area or reducing use of areas like closets or living rooms. For example to not have to scrub and scrub floors, I use smaller shield rugs so I can walk from rug to rug or in the kitchen. I have a lighter rug built in to my roof wall to wall what luxury! It's much easier to keep clean with smaller darker rugs that I like to buy with some lighter patterns so it looks awesome without a constant setup  marathon. Essentially by camouflaging the dirt on your rugs with a beautiful hues you have a lot less surface area of your floor underneath to keep cleaning.. This can reduce your floor cleaning chores by 2/3.


 This method of reducing use also works for burner shields on your stove, not using closets, sinks, or rooms. And I have a decorative cyber shelf in my living area what is a shelftop for right, your realtor!


And when your site manager arrives you house has more clean and serene housewear and your bedwear will always stop snores!


For cleaning out your bathtub quickly and easily Consumer Reports says Scrubbing Bubbles are a sham. Instead a towel while the tub is still moist is wonderous. Just toss it in the washer after use and it's solved because if the danders not dry the towel has huge surface absorption area. 


 I consider towels superior to mops for finishing shelves or clean walls floors or rugs.. They're cheap, fast, and reliable..


Even so the best for walls I found is reducing use and DE Diatomaceous Earth. This has microscopic cutting edges almost as sharp as diamond that scrape off most marks while leaving the paint unlike baking soda which removes the paint. And as I say HERE or see link you may like if you click end of post, while DE is great for cleaning walls and even is good to completely remove ants roaches or wasps at the same time, DE has some important cautions..Don't get in your eyes or nose..


Even so if you use it on just the edge of a corner or your walls as I say it's the best way to clean off white walls or easier yet for gloss coat I've seen that really works unlike every other method I used.. Chalk, vino,  bleach, ammonia, all of them will usually make your wall look bad compared to this as I say on the link about how to clean your walls.


 This is so bad I've seen sites that say it's impossible to clean walls without paint, but not with DE.


 (On my post I'll also discuss painting. You can often get your site painter to to paint it often at no cost for apartments you rent.)



One method I use for my old magazines,I have a lot of them from ancient times!~is to use half a strip of duct tape which actually turns out to be cheaper than paper tape because you only use half the roll and make my magazines into stacks of say 10 magazines bind them together with the duct tape using it as a sort of twine rather as if hammers, scissors, rocks, paper dynamite! And this is easier than using twine and I spiral it and roll it so it doesn't have too much adhesion to the magazine batch beside it in the stack. This is one cheap way I found of reducing magazine clutter inside my boxes. This makes it so while it may not be that good looking,  anytime you want to look into the magazines you can just uncut the duct tape and then add more to replace it after you've read more about the magazine. In the meantime till you read them all this method makes it so that you can sort through them fast by just flipping the batches in and out so you can find the other stuff in the box and you're not overwhelmed by magazine clutter. This  may not be a perfect way to stop magazine clutter but at least it makes it so you can flip through your boxes a lot faster to find your stuff.


More recently I realized that just getting those cheap Eco cloth bags for a dollar each and putting your magazine in each one inside of your box also allows you to flip through your magazines in and out  fast. As above the duct tape is cheaper for this but it doesn't have a handle like the bags, and it also doesn't have easy access of all your magazines to flip through inside the bag Inside the box.. The duct tape binder method makes a cheap substitute when you're short of some bags.. It might cost $50 for enough bags for all my boxes.. Be sure to get the right size bags a bit larger than your magazines if you like.

 Reducing Computer Overuse With this Short Distance Method


 This is a really powerful computation of method. I found that I could use it to also reduce my computer use which most people are spending 11 hours of screen time a day. 57% currently have cyber overuse problems and it's rapidly growing.


 I originally had already thought of using timer padlocks which you can get on eBay for $20. This was after I tried the more expensive kitchen safes which cost $70 but instead I use a duffel and lock the tabs so it zips well. 


 The next phase was where I was just going online for like 2 days a week and time out the router in the duffel for the rest of the week after I made a list of things to search when I was online and while this was much better than even the timer box and because more offline, presumably more hacker proof (which can be important because the main fear of Americans in studies is of being hacked) it still wasn't giving me enough eye comfort for eye yawns..


 But this works really great for timing out your computer because it's simple and you're out of it for days, with your wish list and and you're in and out for just 2 days a week, I found this was like four solid hours of use.


 And here's where the box sorting method really comes in because what you can do is not only time out your router for the general shutdown you can also shorten your trip so much that it's not more computational burden to get out when your eyes start to hurt.

 

 To do this simply get a  box like an old MP3 storage box or perhaps a headphone box or a cell phone holding box with a shoulder band. Punch holes in the box or loop through the tab. Now with the first sign of eye strain or headache you simply time out for a day or an hour or two. 


 You read this stuff where they say, use 20 minutes, 20 ft, for 20 seconds of looking away from your computer per hour but how in the world are you going to remember to do this..57% have overuse and its changing fast.


 Here instead you're letting your discomfort be your guide and you simply turn it off at the first sign of pain like eye pain because your computing trip is shorter.


 This makes it much easier to say no! Now you can rest your eyes from blinking because sites like WebMD say there's an epidemic of myopia. 


And research shows you blink 5 times more when you're offline.


During this time when you're offline you can easily remember to look around the room... I use the four edges of the box of my room and stretch my eyes up and down and blink this increases your tears and you find blessed relief from dry eye!


I like just a bit of withiana the adaptogenic herb on the outside of my eyelids for dry eye.. This has been much recommended for this. An adaptogenic means it causes many positive changes to your physiology but it doesn't itself cause harm.


 Vitamin E caps with eyedrops are also excellent for dry eye before and after you type in. 


 This is general to exact in general I don't want to be online more than 2 days a week like for business and writing you this but also I don't want to spend 4 hours straight computing even with a really good list of what I want to buy! How could it be moreso!


 The idea here is when you suspect you're being influenced by a machine like this give yourself a fast and easy way out anytime you want. A lot of us can remember back to the days of slow modems when it took like seven steps to shut down the computer including like harassment from bad actors perhaps and also it would be guaranteed by a law of computing it would crash just before you save!


Rockefeller who was the richest person by far who ever lived and yet we have a much better computer than he ever had.. He had the cash but we can count our cash best!

 

 Scientific American says the reason for our cyber uncount is because around 2000 the computer manufacturers realized there may be nothing new under the sun about being wise so they decided to pretend to offer more features like the disappearing file trick and get paid the same. Instead of offering less tricks and getting paid less.. This I believe is the source of much residual computer discomfort..


The cell phone makers were wise about this so instead of offers of what seemed to be more than they really were, they decided to lower the cost to the consumer and outsource the dinosaur computer manufacturers.. So in essence the market mostly solved this nonproblem!




 Even so most people still have computer overuse issues and this is like gambling as in other studies because of the randomness.


 I think there should be a social movement to hold the computer makers accountable for this behavior.. In the long run this "charitable event" might help us with things like the power grid and the stock markets and other things like the military that the computers control that we would want people to have more control of.


The bottom line here is though that if you leave yourself with a way out then you have a much better way of controlling your online events.


 This is why I shut down my computer about 5 days a week so it's easy to turn off and then also for the other three days with my wish list I time it out hour by hour with the timer padlock for a lot of content but reduced eye strain.


 As I say on my other post people are reading less for pleasure than ever and you may find this is a real good way to go back to reading more for pleasure and its great value. 


 Otherwise the computer may reduce your creativity and when you've lost that you've lost a lot. Research also shows it  damages your ability to empathize and to understand your own language when you're doing a cut and paste word processing event.


 Other findings have shown that taxi drivers and semi drivers are hooked on GPS.. One solution I think of for stuff like this is a sort of compromise between real maps which there are supposedly no more of I mean where is Amerigo Vespucci and then resting and doing something real for more time between the cyber event..


 I would say if there's an easy way for the driver to go off the road and not use GPS as with my own computer use this might dramatically boost value.


 Currently there are machines that pull over and stop the car when the person has a heart attack no defibrillator wires to jumpstart the van!

 

 Two more ways this might be achieved well might be for the car to stop when the driver falls asleep..


Or an easy 1 push button way to stop the semi and GPS may be a real value,  just as the sorting box at the center can reduce clutter and a near timer can also stop other types of overuse. 


I read how timers haven't stopped video game overuse. I haven't read about this with the value I've saved yet it may be interesting if this general way you buy just what at the general store might even be powerful enough to solve video nirvana also!

TWO OTHER USES OF SORTING BOXES


In addition to reduced clutter and cleaning without woe, another use of sorting boxes is to reduce shelf clutter. I always wondered how to declutter my kitchen shelves. The obvious way is just to shelf the shelf like my table. While removing a table is quite a lot better for sorting because I tried to force myself to sort with what counters would count, only putting all that visual junk like bottles and cans and bowls which aren't custom designed for my house any rate in a box in and a lid on it works mucho richo.


 Better is to use like shields on my shelf like poly shoebox lids..


 Best is this with taking all the bad looking food containers (guaranteed not to fit your look) and store them in totes at shelf level to more easily find them out of sight.


If you can't remember what's in the box even after you sort it a simple label will do because by doing the searching and the sorting already you've already reduced. most of the clutter inside the box also, no more elaborate labels..


This trick is good for ice box clutter as well as being able to sort it by removing the box either to the bed or other level area the same as for my other 99.99 boxes for access and then return it to the icebox when finished. My refrigerator looks super simple inside. 



 And I won't start with an adverb! You can sort your food from the store when you buy it. 


 To lose weight I buy healthy but not tempting food as my main staple.


Like using a pressure cooker to save hundreds of thousands of dollars over like 40 years which can be useful for investing CLICK HERE or see this link at end of like memo if you like!


 You can save at least 10$ a day with a timer pressure cooker, most people spend 50$ on lunch alone! A good refurbished pressure cooker pays for itself in 6 days, perhaps the first day for most by the launch of the lunch!


 To lose weight I eat foods like legumes, rice or potatoes from the pressure cooker and foods like oatmeal with In The Raw erythritol and lo han this is in reach for just 8$ a pound at Food Lion, it's a third cheaper than Splenda erythritol/lo han the brand most recommended by doctors at about 12$ a pound but I think it has about 25% improved flavor.


 About the timer I buy about a weeks worth of tempting but necessary healthy foods eg. chocolate, yogurt and time them out day by day.


In studies they found if you draw a picture of a pizza it makes you eat less so I write down what's in the duffel I'm timing out so it had reduced surprise and parcel out the food day by day. If the timer opens right after I eat other dish just give it a random time say 2 or 4 hours or like 18 hours at the end of the day when most people overeat.


In a way this is just another way of shortening the trip with the box for a fast way you reedit except with food instead of outfit clutter or computer events. Leaving yourself with a way out can have major value. 


 As on my general business site I note that stop losses like with alt coins is a sort of free financial insurance that can help you "exit the trade automatically" a way out to reduce risk and cost but still hold on to your hopes of value about these type of events.


Another value of stop losses is if you expect by the pattern for a stock or coin to rise for example if it's gone up and down in loops two or three times and you're right at where it's about to go up again or maybe perhaps an altcoin that's been rising for months or years regularly then you can hope to buy in there and as it goes up you can use stop losses to hope to lock in your profits. A little higher you make more yet higher yet you make more yet, if it goes down to a certain level you exit the trade but you've got a lot more money because you've locked in your profits and your risk is much reduced..

Another way to profit from crypto's by way of Arbitrage apps like Cryptohopper.. these apps use the old principal of finding the difference between the same stock or commodity in different markets and then buying them for the difference and making a profit. While this is considered to be a safer method of investment where you sign up for the app and you've got a steady stream of residual income and it's safer because you or only buying at the distinction of prices at that point and not having to know these elaborate ways of finding which stock will advance I consider this not to be as safe necessarily until some larger businesses start these Arbitrage apps. If you seen some of the apps I have you know they're kind of amateur to the max now don't want to lose a lot of money trusting these apps till more professional larger businesses start these sort of apps.

 Even so due to the large volatility and price swings of crypto and the constant 24-hour trading everywhere arbitrage is considered to be a real opportunity because there are a lot more profit opportunities available than there were with the old arbitrage.


One possibility is to set up one arbitrage app to have a continual stream of residual income without any effort but also I can conceive of using the money you get from one Arbitrage app to fund another one and then continue doing this with more apps.. Arbitrage apps are considered to be safer by experts as I say even so the main problem might be the reliability of the apps themselves but I think this is an idea that may have promise if investors find the right apps.


 


 You can also do Arbitrage without the app
