First principle of a reliable filing system:
Take care not to violate the dictum of
meticulous care as in 'garbage in garbage out'.
All filing systems have a capacity limit
and the most vital such system located in
one's brain with the capacity to store and to
dredge, sending one's clerical mind to the
work of retrieval will be difficult when due
diligence has been ignored. Rummaging
about in carelessly-acquired, unimportant
files that simply take up precious storage is
a hopeless and hapless task for what the clerk
returns with can be lame, limp, of no account.
The deep subconscious may have been nudged
all too often to make room for deposits of
non-essential wisps of data, impressions, facts
and figures for comfort. It has its own priorities
the assemblage and housing of the intimate
memorabilia that represent passions of the past.
Any who are now contemplating the wasteland
they've constructed of an overworked filing system
will find it now too late for remedial action.
