Know the material

Today we at the Empire are moving. And in celebration and sorrow, I'm asking you to create a list of your stuff in some form or another. It could be all of your stuff if you wanna be meticulous about it. Or you could just sort of go through what you can really get in your head. I suppose the former is preferable because you'll need it for step two.

Now that you have your list you need to have categorize. This is the brunt of the idea. You should be able to create a discrete list of the types of things you have. You may only have one thing in one category and one hundred in the next. But you should be able to come up with a category for all of your things. There shouldn't be a thing that can go uncategory-less. The hardest part is that things start going in two categories. But you could think about them more like labels in Gmail. They don't have to be the definitive name for the thing. But they do need to fit in at least one category.

From here it is up to you. This list can give you a good starting point for thinking about what you care a lot about. Or it can help you decide which things you can cut out cause they are just superfluous. Maybe it could even give you some insight into what you should have more of. It can go either way. Have fun.
