I think they are the same. After a week spent re-organizing emails, creating files and folders, it occurred to me that my kitchen counters were a reminder of why this was so difficult for me to get.

I keep a Crockpot, a blender, and a Cuisinart on my kitchen counter, though I rarely cook and never chop or blend. My reasoning was that if I put them out of sight I would forget to use them. I see them every day and I never use them.

I had the same difficulty moving a mass of computer files out of immediate view, though infinitely findable should I need them. I had this enormous fear that I would forget where they were if I couldn’t see them. Every day I visually had to scan hundreds of files I might never need, just to find the one that I wanted.

It is the same fear; but I have put the Crockpot, blender and Cuisinart in a cabinet, and the files are moving to folders just as quickly.
