scales
there are many ways to sort things out. some folks make lists, some apply labels or find metaphors or correlations to everything they see. it is all fine, but i realized that for me the most visually presentable tool is scale and thus i arrange everything to to some various scales.
and it does not really mean to put thinks on one line in a special order, no. it's really important to to figure out what belong to some scale and what to a completely different one. but in the same time it got some perceivable unrelated things on one scale and it makes a lot of sense now.
it works for general thoughts and theories as well as for a wide range of things from politics to sex, from exact sciences to associations.
maybe you use something else, but because i am a really detail oriented person and pay attention to even smallest things, gravitate to systematics and rooting the causes - i came to the scales as the best working model
but it is all a nonsense in a way, listening to music and drawing is way more appealing
