Something I run into when I try to find a new book, listen to an album in iTunes, or watch that John Doe backlog, is that my organization gremlin commandeers my head. So, on this media date,

Don't fix the media while you consume it.

Don't sort that bookshelf by author "really quick." Don't add genres to that playlist "just for a minute." Don't prune those .avi files. Let it go.

It's not fair to the part of your brain that wants to read the New Yorker article on Sara Silverman to split time with the part that wants to cut the article out and put it in a folder. You'll end up like a wacky sitcom episode, dashing from one part of the restaurant to another, and we all know that only ends in tears.
