    I feel that this is why discipline is important when you want to be organized, regardless of going the minimalist path or not. If you are not disciplined enough you either end up with a lot of junk because you can't stop getting stuff of because you are not disciplined enough to put it in place. But even if you fail it is easy to learn from mistakes with that system :)

    That is a very interesting point. Can you consider getting rid of some things you don't really use? Or maybe dedicating bigger spaces for a broader type of objects: a bowl for red pens and another...

    To keep my stuff organized I follow 2 simple rules:

    1. Everything MUST have a place, doesn't matter where as long as it is its place and it can always be found there, from that point you can only improve.
    2. Everything MUST return to its place, nothing is unimportant enough not to be placed back, I do not allow myself to be lazy for just the 5 seconds it takes to put a fork back on its place.

    To keep my to-dos I use emails and paper:

    1. My e-mail inbox should always be with 0 unread e-mails, if I need to do something, I send myself an e-mail and it is unread until it is done.
    2. If the task was there for too long I just delete it, meaning it was not that important, if the task was important and I didn't do it, it kind-of is a punishment to "forget" about it deleting the email, I'll have to face the consequences and next time it won't happen.
    3. For small work tasks I use a paper to-do in a notebook that i cross whenever it's done applying the same policy as for e-mails.

    Some time ago I read on a Reddit thread about food going to waste someone wrote "...Nothing matters. Take the food." and that stuck with me ever since, almost turning into a life motto. It helps remember how much thought we put into everything when, most of the time, just doing the right thing is easy and there's only fake restrictions to prevent us from doing what is right.

    Not sure if those are available in the US but I go with Deuter backpacks designed for light hiking for my everyday usage.

    I have a Deuter Futura 28 and use it as a laptop computer, small suitcase, motorbike pack or hiking pack. It costed me some 100€ almost 10 years ago and only the color has faded, the rest is like new despite the abuse.

    In general a good hiking pack is a safe option and Deuter are known for the good quality of their products.

    If my memory doesn't fail me, in the Soviet Union transport prices were ridiculous but never free, that was done on purpose for people to feel that there was a certain underlying cost.
    In Argentina they are living a similar situation, public transport is so cheap it is virtually free, but not free and I'm guessing that may be the reason also: preventing abuse. Probably the social fabric and economic status plays a role, as another person commented it is free in Luxemburg, but their day to day life can't be compared with the US or Argentina.
