The object of
sorting
Have you ever been overwhelmed by all the work you have to
do? There are many ways to sort things out so that you may finish with lots of
free time.
1. The first method is alphabetical:
which is simple, sort everything out by its first letter. Then take each letter
and sort and finish them one by one. The alphabetical method is a classic but
cannot be done in the case of characters that are non-lingual.
2. The next method is numerical:
you sort by numbers; using specific digit values. The simplest is by factors of
ten. So 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, etc. this method is extremely useful
when dealing with lots of random numbers. However if non-numeric or
alphabetical characters exist then this method will not work.
3. Where the numeric values and
alphabetical values fail you can use a quick sort and file method: this
method allows for sorting materials by simply using the first available
character. Symbols like !@#$%^&* can be immediately sorted into a separate
pile while letters such as QDSBGHD can be put in a second pile. Numbers can be
used to create a third pile.
4. Multisided die: this method is
actually quite fun. You use one or more dice to roll and create a number. Then you
count down the list till you reach the said number and then remove it. You repeat
the process again and again till you are finished.
5. The coin flip: this method is
more taxing than rolling a pair of dice. You flip a coin and call heads or
tails. If you call it right, move the materials to one side. If you call it
wrong, then skip the file and move it to a different pile. Keep going till you
have two full piles. The pick a pile and flip again in order to pick which of
the two piles you finish.
6. Random number selection: this
method only really works if you have a way of generating random numbers. Generate
a number and count down the list till you reach the number. Then remove and
file.
7. Blind choice: close your eyes,
place your finger on the list, remove and sort. Simple.
