at dinner- i eat entree first, then sides, making sure as much as possible that the entree is not touching the other food. . .for fast food, hamburger first, then fries, then coke; i like wine with food for pairings, so i've relaxed that routine when wine is present
money- i take all my bills and order them so they are facing the same way, then organize by denomination; within each denomination, i organize by federal reserve bank (each bank has a different number- boston is 1 and san francisco is 12, for example), then by serial number.
i hate the feel of cotton balls
