Where to Put the Stuff

It has taken me a long time to learn this one simple lesson -- that a lot of unnecessary stress can be relieved through acquiring the right stuff.

At this moment, two closets overflow with files and loose papers. Yesterday, I took a step toward cleaning the closets. I picked up a 4-drawer file cabinet I found through the
university classifieds email system.
Keeping it in unsightly pieces in my living room will make me do what's unpleasant: purge and clean, move and put together, sort and file.

Like writing, the process may not be entirely pleasurable, but the result will be.
