Am I Organized?

Pareto's Principle has been on my mind a lot lately.

You know, that 80% of what you achieve comes from 20% of what you do.

The trick is to only do the 20% that causes 80% of success. 

And it's the same with being organized.

Let me explain:

If your area, desk, cupboard, kitchen, living room, bedroom, car, etc. is about 80% as well organized as it could be, then you're probably doing well.  Optimally well in fact.

Because the extra effort (80% of it) to get that remaining 20% of mess to be cleared up, would mean having less energy and time for other things.

Again, we're back to the notion that efficiency is far more important than getting organized, right?

See the home page for how to get organized.
