Methodologists may manage material with a dichotomy between items upon which we can act, and items upon which we can't, between action material that belongs to projects, and objects orbiting around the office: references, supplies, etc. Dichotomies can only be false outside the realms of logic. Mundane matters make its falsity manifest.
User manuals may belong to the project Caring for my Stuff. Dictionaries may belong to Writing Well on the Web. Tools may belong to Having Everything for Repairs. Notes may belong to Taking Note.
Let's posit instead of this dichotomy that everything from our own existence is a project. Every object near us comes to life when a project becomes active. No object stands on its own, aside any project, be it indefinite, virtual, or promised. An object may shift from one project to the next.
Multi-faceted objects can assist in many projects. Sooner or later, most objects become multi-faceted. Even invoices: they may belong to Taxes I Deadly Need to Pay, next to Meditate about Making Money Analysis, then to Taxes I Need to Keep.
This relationship between objects and projects might explain slogans like One and Only One Place and Once and Only Once. With their dichotomy, methodologists might be idealizing the relationship between objects and projects. There is no objective way to classify objects.
An object may only be what one projects to do with it.
