THE ART OF FINDING THINGS
Make locations useful,
not complicated.
Label the container
Give boxes short, visible names. “Travel kit” is easier to maintain than a long list printed on the lid. Keep the detailed contents here and print a room inventory if useful.
Review when you move it
An index is only useful while it matches reality. Update a record as you put the item away. Avoid storing passwords, access codes or sensitive document contents in your atlas.
