English homework help: Reading the following paragraph illustrates how our prior experience can combine with our predictions to make meaning. The following passage describes a common procedure in our lives. Read the passage. Can you identify the procedure?

The procedure is actually quite simple. First, you arrange things into different groups. Of course, one pile maybe sufficient depending on how much there is to do. If you have to go somewhere else because of lack of facilities, that is the next steps; otherwise you are pretty well set. It is important not to overdo things. That is, it is better to do too few things at once than too many. In the short run this may not seem important, but complication can easily arise. A mistake can be expensive as well. At first, the whole procedure will seem complicated. Soon, however, it will become just another facet of life. It is difficult to foresee any end to the necessity for this task in the immediate future, but then one can never tell. After the procedure is completed, one arranges the materials into different groups again. Then they can be put into their appreciate places. Eventually,  they will be used one more, and the whole cycle will then have to be repeated. However, that is a part of life.
