The Pile isn't a new book or movie. It's not a new tv show show magazine. It's a habit of mine that has to stop. The Pile is a barrier to my workflow, which prevents me from getting things done. Horizontal surfaces, no matter the size have become places for me to pile up. If it's not papers, it's books, if not books, it is whatever other object can be found in arm's reach and be arranged in a vertical fashion. It's a pretty sad state of affairs when your desk begins to resemble a three dimensional version of the Towers of Hanoi.
You're not saying that you can only move the top book from a pile? :-)
just think of it like jenga! ") actually, i need to work on not doing that anymore as well. i think bookshelves is a must next-step for me.
