Who's in charge: you or your inventory?

[kateamdahl]

I was interested to read Kit Meredith's account of how effortful it sometimes was for her to change outfits and find things in her bloated inventory. I completely failed to identify with her on this, or with the friend she mentions, who strips down to her underthings before logging out in order to force herself to change outfits

Apart from organising a system of folders to keep things in, the most useful thing I have ever done for my inventory was to create a folder marked: !Unopened or not looked at yet

Oh, that's a very good point! I have a folder like that too, "New Things to Look At", which I forgot to mention...but I don't use it as carefully as you do, and it sounds like your way could work especially well. Thanks!

i am teased by friends and family because in SL my inventory showed a marked level of OCD, while in 1stL i am not always so organized. i can always find what i'm looking for in my inventory, my only problem is keeping the number down. i'm at 18,389 now, and only because i've been stashing things in boxes around my house. i'm in the middle of just biting the bullet and deleting all the old freebie stuff that i never ever wear anymore because i have such beautiful stuff.

i know what you mean about wearing something enough times to get some wear out of it. however, i have my outfits (full outfits only, not separates) organized by color because i've found that most often i'll go into my inventory thinking "i feel like wearing blue/orange/grey today" it works for me.
