As I searched (no luck) for a box to hold index cards width-wise, Elaine came up with an elegant solution. A Twinings tin holds about 250 3x5 cards (enough to brew 250 to-do lists or several lengthy projects).
The repurposed dish drainer in the photograph? That was Elaine’s idea too.
And writing this post? That was also Elaine’s idea: “You should put this on your blog.” Hers is mostly for music.
Thank you, Elaine (again).

Repurposed tea tin

I've been contemplating what to do with my nearly-empty Twinings Earl Gray tin...it is such a well-made tin, and thus a shame to throw out.
I also have some shuffly notecards scattered here and there--so, I see an meeting in their future!
I'm off to make a pot; my thanks to Elaine.
I briefly considered using an old dish drainer. Then I noticed that it made things way too neat. Pawing through the drifts...is this considered a lifestyle choice?
I’d say yes. Take a look at Eric Abrahamson and David Freedman’s A Perfect Mess, on the benefits of disorder.
