Unpacking as a Warehouse Problem: Sorting vs. Tagging

Daniel moved into his modular Euro-box shelving system, Dremel-engraved the box purposes into the plastic — and still can't find anything, because the asset-to-box mapping got destroyed in the move. His proposed fix (one IKEA bag at a time, sorting and tagging as he goes) is the slowest workflow available for the problem. This episode treats his half-day window as what it actually is: a warehouse putaway problem at apartment scale, where sorting and tagging are two different jobs wearing one coat, the IKEA bag is a pure waste touch, and the misc box is either a pressure valve or a machine for recreating the mess you started with.
