Organize Your Closet Like a Computer Organizes Memory
I followed this advice.  Now I have two closets and I have laid them out identically.<p>They are a mile apart, so if I&#x27;m inside one and want to get something from the other, it takes forever.<p>There&#x27;s no way to quickly discover if my wife has added clean clothes to the closet I&#x27;m not in.  She only tells me at dinnertime.<p>My closet manufacturer sold me the pair of closets for just a little more than twice what a single one cost, but a four-closet setup was ten times the price and a three-closet variant was not available.  They told me there was an eight-closet setup too, but nobody really knew how to use it effectively.<p>Each closet has a cubbyhole which is always open and super accessible.  It is large enough for one single sock.  I complained about this and was offered to replace all my socks with more expensive ones that take half the space but barely cover my ankles.<p>The next larger compartment is big enough for one whole outfit, but not in the wintertime.  Sometimes at night if I have nothing to do I will fill it with the outfit I want to wear the next day.  By the next morning there&#x27;s a decent chance I&#x27;ll have changed my mind, but that&#x27;s OK, it only cost me a few calories.<p>There&#x27;s a larger door I can open which has a few outfits in it.  I use this pretty often, but the damper on the door is super-stiff and it takes quite a while to pry it open.  And if one of my siblings also wants to use it, I have to wait.  Ten years ago I lived by myself, but now the house is pretty crowded and we don&#x27;t have space for more closets.<p>Finally there&#x27;s a huge area in the back that I can walk into and get anything I want.  The distance to get there is about as long as a football field.  Once in a while something I stored there gets damaged, but there&#x27;s just so much stuff that I probably won&#x27;t notice.  I have no idea how they fit this thing in my house; those closet guys are geniuses.
