Let’s play a small game.
Think about the last time you needed a pen.
You reached for it.
Not there.
You glanced at the desk.
Pulled open a drawer.
Checked your bag.
Just a few seconds.
But your focus was already gone.
Not because the task was hard.
But because your brain had to switch modes.
From thinking to searching.
From creating to reacting.
And that switch?
It’s more expensive than it looks.
That tiny moment reveals something bigger.
Disorganization taxes your brain more than you realize.
Every misplaced object creates friction.
Every visual mess pulls on your attention.
Every “Where did I put that?” quietly drains energy you never get back.
It’s not dramatic.
It’s constant.
And over time, it compounds.
Here’s the quiet truth most people miss:
You don’t need a perfect workspace.
You need a functional one.
A space where your tools are where your brain expects them to be.
So thinking stays thinking.
Momentum stays momentum.
So let me ask you and keep it small.
What tiny thing could you organize today to lower friction?
One drawer.
One file.
One surface.
Reply and tell me.
