I’ve been seeing many posts on intentional curation, analog archiving and organizing lately. To me it’s a collective conscious response to the digital chaos + AI’s help to declutter but add more to the content platter in a way. I’ve been going back to putting pen on paper. The quiet it offers is healing. Thank you for covering this Ali🤍🤎🩶

It’s kinda scary how similar our organizing habits are, but also makes PERFECT SENSE!

Forever organizing images on Pinterest—and using these boards to convey ideas/thoughts. I also use notes: The Jam (daily tasks, with carry over), Read (books), Watch (Films), and then various others (gets a bit messy here but can search by keyword). I realize I don’t have a system for saving articles / essays / quips that I am so moved by that I forward to other people. I often go to my sent file to retrieve (after recollecting who I shared it with).

I similarly feel a compulsive need to organize and catalog the things I like on the internet. I use Pinterest for everything! My only private boards are the ones specific to my house, kids or closet - otherwise it’s all public (it’s hard to imagine anyone caring enough about my perspective to scrutinize my boards).
