Metacognition: A tribute to Aristotle

For this project, I decided to organize files on my laptop. This is already something I do semi-regularly, or when I do not have enough memory left. Not having enough RAM capacity always makes me feel anxious and as if there is a weight on my shoulders. I also feel regret, for not organizing files while saving them, but instead just sending them into the vast unknown. However, as I get into the groove of organizing, deleting, and moving files, this weight diminishes, and I start to feel productive. After the work is complete, I am just glad that the task is over and I don't have to go on worrying about it any more or have it hanging over my head. 

My mind feels less cluttered and open. I feel as if I can think more clearly as well.

After the project, I know that I need to organize my files better at regular intervals, instead of just letting it all accumulate until the breaking point. Organization is key: if your life is organized, then your mind will follow.
