My ex-roommate told me 'just throw everything in a pile' and I actually defended that method for 2 years

I was just reading about how some people actually organize better with a "controlled chaos" method. There's a book called "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" that talks about the opposite approach, where you touch every item and decide if it brings joy. But honestly, that pile method can work if you're someone who processes things visually. I think the problem comes when the pile gets too big and you lose track of what's in there. The key is having a system within the chaos, like grouping similar items together even if they're in a pile. Otherwise you end up with a mountain of laundry mixed with papers and random stuff that you'll never sort through properly.

It's funny how that pile method just mirrors how most of us handle life anyway, shoving everything into one corner until we have to deal with it.
