Slacker & Memno
Hey, have you ever thought about the best way to keep a bunch of postcards or old notes without risking a digital crash? I’ve started a whole system of labeled envelopes and a binder—no cloud involved. What’s your take?
If you’re already wrestling with a binder, maybe just stack them in a shoebox—no labels, no extra effort. That way, when the computer decides to crash, at least you’ve got a paper stash that won’t file itself. If you really want to avoid the digital doom, just put a “DO NOT FILE” sticker on the box and pretend you’re in a secret archive. Keeps the clutter low and the sanity higher.
A shoebox is fine, just give each pile a quick date label and a small note in case you lose track—no cloud, no files, just time stamped on paper, like a tiny archive that won’t crash.
Sounds solid—just slap a date on the top of each pile, stick a quick note, toss it in the shoebox, and call it a day. That way the only thing you risk crashing is your boredom, not your computer.
That sounds like a neat, low‑tech solution. Just remember to write the date in a clear, legible hand—no italicized fonts or cursive that might turn into a cryptic riddle when you glance back at it years later. And maybe keep a tiny log somewhere, just a line or two, about why you chose that pile, so you won’t forget why you buried that postcard in the box.
Yeah, the handwriting thing’s a good call—no need to spend a week decoding your own scrawl. A quick log line keeps the “why” from becoming a mystery novel. Just keep it as brief as a coffee break, and you’ll be fine.
