Here's a topic seldom fleshed out, what happens when a magic dragon fills the cave? With those enormous life spans, it's bound to happen to the more successful of the breed. True, their dens are large and cavernous, but in many ways this makes things worse. When the last bit of space is used, they'll have an even bigger assortment of stuff to go through. Imagine the memories, "The gold charm from the first adventurer who ever tried to kill me, can't throw that away". Perhaps they dig ancillary storage caves.
Life is definitely different for mundane dragons. In addition to the treasures we collect there's the drek of every day life like bills, receipts and pizza delivery menus. After two decades of treasure and drek collecting it's time for this mundane dragon to address the "treasure trove".
MacGiver aside, anyone who's ever fixed something, worked at a craft, or stormed a castle knows the right tool makes all the difference in the world. Organizing seems to be no different. The tools are not physical, they may more correctly be called strategies. With out them the job is as difficult as having the wrong screw driver or laying siege with nothing to breach the wall. Bring on the trebuchet!
Some people seem naturally equipped with the knowledge of organization. A certain mundane who plays dwarven clerics comes to mind. For the rest of us there's PBS and self help books. "Organizing From the Inside Out" is the latest spell book I'm trying. So far so good, I've transitioned from reading to action. The true test will be checking in a year from now. This then, is the starting gun.
And if any of you magic dragons want to let a lesser cousin in on any secrets .......
