Minimalists Don't Organize (from a min blog that features adorable cartoon bunnies)
I think the premises of both these are true. As long as I'm in here editing to make the links work, I'll note the second one is not the only one on that topic.
Organizing is only necessary when you have too many things to easily find what you’re looking for. Think about it: when we organize a collection of [items], it’s because when they’re not organized, we can’t find the [items] we want. But if we had, say, five [of that kind of thing], we wouldn’t need to organize.
Leo was talking about books, which is a hot-button category for most. His point holds, though. I can't think of a time I've needed/wanted to organize a collection of less than a dozen items, unless I am going OCD on a dish of M&Ms because I want to push small things around with my finger.
