I do the same with music, actually. Some of my music genres (of which I use nearly 100 in a prefixed sytem) would make little sense to anyone else, but I'm able to quickly get to what I'm in the mood to listen to.

So, yeah, basically my systems revolve around "how can I find this later without thinking about it too much".
That's an excellent idea!

I already do that in the physical world. If I have trouble finding something, I put it back in the first place I looked.
