Sure, if you think of memories like files, you can create a folder structure that makes sense. Start with broad categories—Family, Work, Travel, Hobbies—then break each into subfolders by year or event. Add a tag system for emotions or key people, so you can search or browse easily. It’s like having a personal filing cabinet in your head, and it keeps everything in order.

You’re right—sometimes the folders that look tidy end up full of mismatched files. A quick fix is to keep a “misc” bin for things that don’t fit yet, then revisit it later and move the items to more specific folders once you’ve sorted them out. That way the system stays clear and the chaos is isolated until you can organize it properly.
