Gmail and Google Desktop search have totally changed my organizational habits. Or, rather, obliterated them. Now, if only I had something like that for real life…

With spotlight on the Mac I have become a piler and can afford to be.

I am a total piler. Luckily I accidentally married a filer or I would be in serious trouble. I too started out my technology career carefully placing things in their proper home and heaven forbid if anything sat on my desktop, it would get immediately moved to its proper location. I now have a “desktop stuff” folder that gets filled with screen after screen of files cut and paste from my desktop. Here’s my question, is it that we were once organized filer’s or have we become piler’s out of necessity of our fast paced technology enhanced life?

I thought I was a filer (took pride in it actually), until I got a new job and had to move in a hurry. The piles are surrounding me, and I can almost hear them laughing in my mind! I didn’t realize how often I just throw things into a “file pile”, and then move the pile to where I can’t see it. Now that I have to move them all, I realize what a piler I am.
