Coined by Richard Saul Wurman (founder of TED), LATCH stands for Location, Alphabet, Time, Category, and Hierarchy. The claim is that anything in the world can be organized by these five means—and only these five. The practical application: every piece of information you save should be tagged with multiple LATCH dimensions so you have redundant paths back to it. If your filing system only supports one or two, you're one typo or forgotten folder away from losing it forever.
