Organizing. Monk from the TV show could get a lesson from me, the dude is amateur hour compared to my compulsive habits. i call it ‘managing my mind palace’ from Sherlock. Each tool, sprocket, wrench, shim, test lead, and whatever else has a place, purpose and also acts as a mnemonic device.

My wife has to sometimes stop me, I’ll get a mental tire spin and end up sorting the same items over and over into various patterns. kinda like a sorting algo to find the most efficient use of space, access and feasibility when needed or in use.

I used to do art as a distraction but the inherent free spirit blank canvas of it all didn’t help. i ended up just painting scenes of gratuitous violence. started giving myself event horizon vibes so i moved onto computers and trade craft because i didn’t like looking at myself in the mirror of art
