I keep the same clothes in the same drawers, fairly neatly folded, including socks and underwear. The kitchen - anyone in my household could go in there blindfolded and reach out for any given object, even in the fridge. It's kind of calm; you don't spend frantic energy looking for things. (Though a kindly Christmas gift was a Tile, which will allegedly keep track of my keys if they migrate.) On the other hand, I often can't find things I don't use often - jewellery, the boxes that a phone or tablet came in (with its earphones still in situ…) I have friends who are rapidly turning into the kind of old people who are eventually dug out from their mounded mountains of clothes and books and… stuff, only to feature in Daily Mail spreads - Police Had To Search For Pensioner Under Years Of Detritis - and whose stairs are a terrifying hazard, two-thirds covered with slippery magazines and books. No wonder stair falls are such a common cause of death.
