Gatherer v Organizer

Gatherer – I’m a gatherer, meaning I gather than organize. I look at the “thing”, analyse it, rethink it, figure out how many more uses it has, and/or completely re-invent the wheel from the “thing’s” original intention making organization of the “thing” practically impossible and a serious thought process – OH BOTHER!

Organizer – The aforementioned ”thing” is immediately placed, without quandry, in its organized proper spot, ready to use as intended (lots of times with how-to-use instructions) when needed (not to mention can be found when wanting to use). – FINISHED!  NEXT?

Immediate Gratification??

Gatherer – no!

Organizer – yes!

This is where an “everything in moderation” thinking should occur.

For the Gatherer: be moderate, not everything has a dual purpose, it is okay.

For the Organizer: use the “thing” first before putting it in its organized place, so you do not forget you have it to begin with.
