What is The Pile of Least Effort: Supporting Lived Document Management Practices about?

This paper outlines early results from ethnographic research examining the ways people organise and manage their personal documents in an office, with a focus on people who engage in piling. The study encompassed indepth interview data, questionnaire data and explorations of technology prototypes with participants. We build upon existing personal information management (PIM) research and develop a framework to encompass the real world of paper document management. In this paper, we highlight the challenges of being a piler, and suggest how they might be remedied or alleviated through design considerations for future support systems.
