I got tired of wading through piles of books and papers in my home office.
A little "domestic pressure" and my own sense of uneasiness made me think of possible strategies to turn the cave back into, well, a plain office.
As a first measure, I selected some books I'm not using anymore to give away. I then thought that it would be a good idea to put my 'hot books' (a term I use to refer to the books I'm reading or plan to read soon, and the books I use frequently as a reference) in a basket, next to my reading chair. And so I did.
'Hot Books' Basket #1:
It soon became clear that one basket wouldn't be enough. Besides, I still had the left flank available. So I bought another basket and quickly filled it with more books.
'Hot Books' Basket #2:
I couldn't fit in all of them... Anyway, the room is so tidy now that I won't have to leave the usual trail of breadcrumbs to find my way back anymore. And the great thing is that now I keep (almost) all of my 'hot books' at my fingertips.
