I thought that he missed a beat on the sorting and searching question. The claim is that, to oversimplify, you should always keep the things you just used closest to you, ignoring any other sorting by classification.
I think this would be optimal if I can always remember where I put something (e.g., I have an simple identifier I can look up) and I simply have to spend time to move over to that location and grab it.
However, I think that classifying things by reasonable categories must be helpful if I have trouble remembering where I put things. Or am I missing a point here?
