My Stint with the Liv Morga Idea
Alright, let me tell you about this thing I tried called “Liv Morga”. Heard about it somewhere, maybe online, maybe a friend mentioned it. Sounded like some kind of system, maybe for organizing thoughts or files, I wasn’t entirely sure. My digital workspace was a mess anyway, so I figured, why not? Couldn’t make it worse, right?
So, one Saturday, I decided to dive in. Didn’t really prep much. Just sat down at my desk, coffee handy, ready to tackle the chaos using this supposed method. The core idea, as I pieced it together, seemed to involve a specific way of categorizing stuff. Not just folders, but something else. Tags, maybe? Connections?
I started with my ‘Projects’ folder. Man, that thing was a beast. Years of stuff just dumped in there. I began trying to apply the ‘Liv Morga’ logic. It involved looking at items not just for what they were, but how they related to other things. Felt a bit abstract, honestly. I spent hours just clicking, renaming, trying to create these links or tags.
- First, I pulled out a few key project files.
- Then, I tried to tag them based on… well, that was the tricky part. The ‘Liv Morga’ way felt fuzzy.
- I ended up creating a bunch of new tags. Things like ‘MaybeLater’, ‘ConnectedToThatOtherThing’, ‘NeedsReview’.
- Dragged files around. Made new folders based on these weird connections.
It got confusing fast. What connected to what? Was this ‘feeling’ tag useful, or just more clutter? I started getting bogged down. Instead of clarity, I felt like I was just weaving a more complicated web. Finding a specific file suddenly felt like solving a riddle.
Hitting the Wall
After half a day, I took a break. Looked at what I’d done. It wasn’t really… better. Just different. More complex, maybe? The promise of easy retrieval wasn’t there. It felt like I’d need a manual just to understand my own filing system. That wasn’t the goal. The goal was less headache, not more.
I fiddled with it a bit more on Sunday, trying to simplify the ‘Liv Morga’ approach I was attempting. Maybe I misunderstood it? Possible. Very possible. But based on my attempt, it wasn’t clicking. It felt unnatural, forced. Like trying to fit square pegs into round holes.
So, what happened in the end? Well, I abandoned ship. Mostly. I kept some of the cleanup I did – deleting genuinely old junk I unearthed. That was useful. But the whole ‘Liv Morga’ tagging and connecting structure? Nah. I reverted back to my simpler, albeit still slightly messy, folder structure. It’s not perfect, but at least I know how my chaos works.
The whole exercise wasn’t a complete waste of time, though. It forced me to actually look through my files, which was overdue. And it taught me something: fancy systems aren’t always the answer. Sometimes the simple, familiar way, even if imperfect, is better if it actually works for you. That Liv Morga experiment? It’s just a story I tell now about that one weekend I tried to get overly clever with my folders.
