I don't know how it is done now,but back then it was all done manually.

I got the knack immediately,so I had to make it more interesting and challenging for myself—I timed myself sorting the postcards and every time I tried to finish faster and faster.

我很快就学会了分类的技巧，所以我必须让这个工作变得更有趣，更有挑战性才行。我计算我分卡片的时间，每次我都试着比上一次更快完成。
