Everything with a place, and everything in its place

If there's one organizing principle that applies neatly across both the figurative and literal realms, it is this: everything with a place and everything in its place.

Literally

In your office, in your home. Where you go to get this or that, and where you go to do this or that.

The more clear these things are to you, the less time and mental energy you have to waste doing, literally, anything.

Also digitally, where you keep your files and documents matters.

The more consistently and logically you separate things like:

• Accounting
• Clients
• Projects
• Marketing assets
• Education
• And so on...

The easier and quicker it will be to find something when you need it (without taking shots in the dark using search).

Figuratively

In your mind, on your calendar. How you organize your days, weeks, months, and years.

• Do you always do deep work in the morning?
• Do you always answer emails just after lunch?
• Do you do a month-end review?
• Do you do quarterly or yearly planning sessions?

If these things have a place in your life, they're much more likely to happen.

Over to you

What does this bring up for you? Does it ring true?

How do you organize your space, mind, and time?

Let me know in the comments!

(I could figuratively talk about this stuff all day.)

Or if you'd rather just think about it, that's cool too. Obviously.
