Some people who have what appears to be a disorganized mess, always know EXACTLY where any particular item is when it is wanted.


I wonder if some people think in 3 dimensions versus taxonomically?

Combining for memory palace?


I'm probably like this.

For example, my CD/Vinyl/DVD/Book collections have never been alphabetized nor categorized, but I can find anything I want very quickly, because I seem to think spatially about the layout of the collection.

For some reason, I know instinctively that my copy of "In the Nightside Eclipse" will be on the upper left shelf while the Miles Davis records will be on the second-last shelf.
