[[Create a repository of knowledge for all those who need it]]. - Curate your stuff.

Get the hard stuff out of the way so that you can enjoy the really good stuff - the really fun stuff. - [[Organize stuff based on the first order of retrievability around the collective philosophy of work for everyone using the space]]. - "[[Every problem contains within itself the seeds of it's own solution]]." ## Notes - "[[The goal is if I died, there's information about everything!]]" - "There's pieces in here that are **absolutely priceless** sitting next to things that are **completely worthless**." - [[Scale yourself]]. [[Create a repository of knowledge for all those who need it]]. - Make meaningful impact on others. Do something that someone would try to remember rather than something that would try to forget. - Tae the time to **curate your stuff**. See it as an opportunity to understand your attainments - Where you are in your journey, where you wish to go, and how your attainments can serve you on your way. - [[It's interesting how quickly stuff turns to crap the moment you stop paying attention to it]]. - You should never be more than an arm's reach away from something you need every day. - "[[De-organizing stuff is like walking downhill to school knowing you're gonna have to walk uphill to get home]]." - [[Eat your veggies first]]. Get the hard stuff out of the way so that you can enjoy the really good stuff - the really fun stuff. - "I'm someone who likes to do the hard stuff on the front-end. But organization... hard stuff's always on the back-end." - Things you need, you cannot find. Things you don't need, you cannot unsee. You can do your best, but **sometimes**, **things get lots** - and **that's okay**. - [[Organize stuff based on the first order of retrievability around the collective philosophy of work for everyone using the space]]. - "I look at a thing, I look at a mess, and I think, 'I gotta deal with this'." - Identify an annoying repeated thing you have to do everyday. Fix that. - Solutions are often informed by the mess you're currently dealing with. - "[[Every problem contains within itself the seeds of it's own solution]]." - "[[Within the problem lies the solution]]." ## Original ![[Finding organizational inspiration and discarding things you need later - Ask Adam Savage-1.jpg]] ![[Finding organizational inspiration and discarding things you need later - Ask Adam Savage-2.jpg]]
