Having a messy workspace can have adverse effects on productivity. Some of us seem naturally tidy while others could not get organized to save their lives. π Like many things in life though, if you search hard enough you will find a book with best practices and principles to help make your life easier. π

1% Smarter #17 – The Inversion Principle
Invert, always invert: Turn a situation or problem upside down. Look at it backward. What happens if all our plans go wrong? Where don’t we want to go, and how do you get there? Instead of looking for success, make a list of how to fail instead – through sloth, envy, resentment, self-pity, entitlement, all the mental habits of self-defeat. Avoid these qualities and you will succeed. – Charlie Munger
