Opus 2026-096: Get Organized

How would you organize your Legos, assuming you have Legos?  Yesterday I almost fell into the trap of trying to sort out all the wheels and put them in one place.  It’s a trap because my grandchildren are not old enough to understand the concept of sorting.  The day will come.  When it does, I can expect some conflict.

How do you sort Legos?  It depends on your maturity and your personality.  Do you start with size?  Do you start with color?  How about shape or purpose?  It’s going to be different for everyone and if you leave them available, someone might come along to help you get things where they really belong.

I remember, we could always tell when my grandmother had been to our house.  We could not find anything in the kitchen.  She tended to re-organize things when she was there, and since at that point, she wasn’t really in touch with reality, it got very creative.

It may be that you will only be able to organize small parts of your world like which pocket you put your change in.  For bigger things, like your sox it may be up to someone else.  Relax.  You will live to tell about it but I wouldn’t advise saying a word.
