🗄️ Okay so this guy is the 'getting my life together' emoji, but also the 'ugh, paperwork' emoji. Use it when you're finally organizing your digital files ('Time to sort my downloads folder 🗄️'), talking about work tasks ('My brain is a messy file cabinet rn 🗄️'), or referencing old memories/archives ('Found this deep in the family file cabinet 🗄️'). It can also be a low-key dig at red tape or boring admin stuff.
