I have separate briefcases for significant projects; a somewhat cumbersome approach but it works. The technique baffles my wife, especially when she sees the cases lined up like airplanes for take-off. The reasoning is there is less likelihood of losing key items when you know that they are to be in one case and one case only.
Occasionally, I compromise and put two projects into one case but I don't like doing so because that is against the spirit of the process and a small step from barbarism. At least that's what I tell myself and, as Joan Didion once wrote, we tell ourselves stories in order to live.
We also tell ourselves stories in order to organize. Disorganization is always scratching at the door. Grab a briefcase.
