Announcing a new Johnny.Decimal initiative: Thank God I Filed it! (on Friday).[^atheist]

[^atheist]: Noting that I am an atheist and do not believe in any of the gods, but for purposes of the initialism it would have been punitive to lower-case this instance.

Okay, this one's a little tongue-in-cheek. But I think there's something to be had here.

## Filing is boring

I'm constantly aware that I run this website for a thing which most people find really boring. Let's not fool ourselves: even if you're in to this sort of thing, filing things isn't 'fun'.

The result is that we don't do it. We know we should. We might even have a really neat place to file things. (You're welcome.) And _still_ we don't!

So TGIF is a little prompt. Here's the challenge:

**This Friday, make an effort to file at least one thing. Make it the thing that caused you the most problems this week.**

## Invest an hour

Let's say you set aside an hour to do this. This is why we picked Friday: it's a perfect 3pm-on-a-Friday sort of job. You're almost finished, your brain is fried, so why don't you do something menial that helps future you?

In an hour, aim to file **four (4) things**. Just four. No stress.

If you do this every week for a year, in a year you've filed 200 things. And I bet you don't routinely _use_ 200 things! We're talking your logo, your pricing chart, your list of suppliers.

So in a year, you might not have much left to do. That'd be nice.
