One More Thing
Scheren starts by introducing the topic that it’s harder to clean up than catch up. So, for each day, after she introduces the topic and gives suggestions for organizing and cleaning up, she lists three stages of your work:
Set Up: This is the time when you look at your current system, analyze how well it’s working for you, and then decide on a new system, if need be.
Catch-Up: This is usually the largest section and offers step-by-step advice on cleaning up the area that you’re working on.
Keep-Up: Once you’ve worked hard on cleaning up the mess, this section helps you maintain the new level of clean so that you don’t have a messy area again.
