Efficiency Rule: The Criterion For Judging Whether Something Is Useful.

In any proposal to improve efficiency, there is no need to "keep your desk as clean as possible".

However, when we tidy up our desk (including housekeeping), we are always troubled by a problem: it is temporarily useless and lost.

Then, how can we judge whether this thing is still useful?

The efficiency level tells you a standard to draw lessons from, that is, anything that is useful and useless is useless.

Do you think that sounds a bit harsh?

Let's take a look at what these things bring to you:

• First of all, it is a confused feeling: This is obviously a situation which is not conducive to improving efficiency.

• Then, they will introduce you countless times: finding - > stacking > cleaning up > finishing cycle. What's worse, most people will put these kinds of things that are hovering between "useful and useless" in a single pile for the subsequent processing in most cases, and they (sometimes including EXIA themselves) finally find that this pile is often the most "useful and useless" thing, and only a few things are lost in this arrangement.

• Then there is the consumption of time.

  Little waste can be accumulated.

So the best way to treat them is to discard them.

If you are really worried about a sentence in a meeting notice, it is very important that you write it down and lose it.

In addition, this principle also applies to files in your computer, such as archived email, various RSS, old pictures and movies that have been seen.

When you need a neat desk / computer / living room, remember this principle: "anything that makes you hesitate to throw and throw away can be thrown away."
