Organization — Office
Organization — Office
After the kitchen, the office is the most used room in our home. This is how
we keep it organized.

This is the office.
This is the office.
My wife and I work here, Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. Our children
play and create in here just as often. It’s where we maintain several
workspaces, store supplies, house a portion of our library, and keep a
guest bed. To make things even more complicated, I also exercise in
here nearly every day. All in this 10’ x 12’ space with two windows.
Since we began working from home, I estimate that we’ve spent around
8,000 hours in here.

Organization — at an almost obsessive level — is what keeps this space
a functional and enjoyable place to spend time. Minimalism, though, is
not. We have a lot of gear in here. Most of it gets used every single
day.

On and Under the Desk
I prefer to keep my desktop as free from infrastructure as possible.
I prefer to keep my desktop as free from infrastructure as possible.
My general rule is that if I need it within reach, in view, or audible,
it’s on the desk. If I don’t, it’s under the desk. That means that my
desktop is still not as free of things as I’d like, but there is an
impressive amount of gear running my day-to-day underneath it.

[7]Ergotron LX Single Monitor Arm rather than the arm it ships with

* a [11]Sony A7C Full Frame Camera with [12]Sony FE 35mm F1.4 GM lens
mounted with a [13]ULANZI Camera Desk Mount Stand
* a pair of [14]Audioengine HD3 speakers
* the [15]awesome lamp I made twenty years ago by duo-tac’ing a strip
of wax paper onto an industrial plastic tube and placing a
trash-picked light inside — it still holds up!
* the desk is a [16]Floyd dining table. I added a [17]sliding
under-desk drawer.

Underneath the desk I use a simple rack on wheels to stack two

All the lights, knobs, and buttons are irresistible to my nearly
two-year old son, so I made custom covers out of half-inch black foam
board that slide in between the rack’s supports and the shelf contents
to keep him from exploring. You can see how they look on the right side
of the split image below — covers out on the left, in on the right.

While I’m here, let me take a moment to urge those who have not to
acquire an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system.

We have two [18]CyberPower CP1500 backups running in our office. Each
has six battery backup and surge protected outlets as well as six
additional surge protected outlets, network inputs, and USB inputs.

Just this week, we had a freak storm descend upon our city and in the
span of just 35 minutes knock out power for hundreds of thousands and
fell more trees than any other storm I’ve experienced in the time I’ve
lived here. Because I do my work on a Mac Mini, having a UPS that kicks
in when the power goes out saves me from losing work. But it can also
keep the lights on, fans going, music playing, the works.

Keen eyes will notice that the cables behind everything are relatively
tidy. The thing about cables is that the greater they are in number,
the more difficult they are to tame!

Rather than completely hiding them — and making it more difficult to
access or alter them later — I prioritize labeling. I coil and bunch
any excess cable, but I don’t clip or enclose them. I do label them at
both ends so I can easily identify what’s what no matter where I’m
looking.

know I’m doing my future self a favor.

My wife and I keep a lot of books and magazines. We’re by no means at a
hoarder level, but we do like our printed media and that takes up
space. We have most of our library in another room, but in here, we
have many magazines, all our design books, and all my books about the
paranormal and other weirdness.

Other than the racks under our desks, all the shelves in this room —
there are many — were made by measuring and hanging custom rack or
ledge shelving. It’s inexpensive, very strong (by god use a stud
finder), and requires very few tools. I made mine with steel racks,
half-inch poplar, a hand saw, a level, a pencil, and a few different
straightedges.

I strongly recommend [29]library-grade bookends, which you can see at
the edges of the shelf pictured above. These are the kind that won’t
tip over, won’t bend, and won’t slide off the edge of floating shelves.
They are very, very good.

Most of the stuff we keep on the shelves needs to be easy to retrieve.
The best way to do this is to create kits. Find a container that works
best for you in multiples and gather like items, put them in, and label
them clearly. (I like the [30]iDesign 29847, which was designed to hold
toilet paper.)

bit, but small enough to be manageable by our kids.

This room also has a closet. I lined it with shelving to store
household supplies, paper, tools, and emergency equipment and to make
it easy to retrieve anything without having to root around. Most of
this stuff is also in kits stored in [31]IRIS USA Weatherpro latching
boxes. We are ready for a disaster!

I’m as obsessive with how I organize information as I am objects and
spaces. At this point in my life, I’ve tried dozens and dozens of
digital organization tools. While I used some of them for a long time —
I used Todoist for several years — none have ever felt as useful to me
as pen and paper.

I’ve kept a notebook of some kind — as a sketchbook, an art journal, a

always a mixture of things in it: notes and lists on one page, drawings
and collages on the next.

But over the last few years, I’ve been formulating a more intentional
and systematic use of my notebooks. Now, I maintain two books at the
same time: one for visual exploration and the other for note-taking and
list-making.

Just having two books helps, but the key to making this work as a
productivity system is to maintain a specific habit of use. While I do
find writing to-do lists on paper inherently better — for me — than
using some kind of digital app because I can focus on the information
outside of the digital space, it’s how I use them that makes them
actually deliver results for me.
Just having two books helps, but the key to making this work as a productivity
system is to maintain a specific habit of use. While I do find writing to-do
lists on paper inherently better — for me — than using some kind of digital app
because I can focus on the information outside of the digital space, it’s how I
use them that makes them actually deliver results for me.
Here’s how it works:
1. I end the day by making a to-do list for the next one.
This is probably the most important work/life hack I can offer to
anyone who doesn’t already do this. It’s a great idea to start your
day with a prioritized list of the things you need to do. But I end
my day by making that list so that I can also use it as a tool for
clearing my mind and letting me make a meaningful mental break from
work. I have also found that when my days are very busy, if I don’t
end them with making a list for the next day, I am likely to forget
details by the next morning. This is especially true if I let my
inbox determine my day; if I don’t have a to-do list, my inbox
becomes one.
2. I mark my to-do list with a bright, yellow sticky note.
This is a very small detail, but it lets me shut my notebook and
set it aside. The next morning, I can open it directly to the day’s
list. Then I move the sticky note to the next page. When I am
stressed, tiny investments in my future self really pay off. Giving
myself an immediate sense of place is one of them.
3. If a task is longer-term and has many sub-tasks, I create an index
card to contain it.
I might transpose some of the sub-tasks from the card to my book so
I can keep track of things in one place throughout the day, but
doing this lets me think through how I’m going to achieve a larger
goal over a longer period of time. I keep these index cards in a
small box on my desk.
4. There are no analytics, and that’s a feature.
Back when I used Todoist, I found its analytics intriguing and
motivating. I initially liked being able to pore over my
productivity statistics. And Todoist set it up to “reward” you as
you completed more tasks. Ithink I worked my way up to some absurd
number of tasks complete, which the app always displayed front and
center, and some ridiculous classification like “Master Overlord”
or something. It worked for me, until it didn’t. Analytics in this
context create their own layer of stress. I’d find that if my
numbers dropped, it felt wrong, even if that was because I was less
busy — which is probably a good thing now and again! I found that I
was thinking about my “performance” as often as my productivity. I
didn’t need that.

This is what works for me. I’d never assume it would work for everyone,
or that everyone would have the same trouble with an app like Todoist
that I eventually did. But if you’ve tried apps of various kinds and
still don’t feel the benefits of organizing your work, I’d suggest
taking it offline. One point of a system like this is to help you get
things done. The other is to help you feel more at ease.
[2e6d6ea8-930f-4297-9662-d55905f31808]
Now, this doesn’t mean I never use a computer for notes and lists. If I
write a note or have an idea that I want to transpose to a digital file
so that it can become something else — like an article or a message to
someone — I use a blue post-it note to mark it and keep it there until
I’ve copied it over. (Many of my blue bookmarks are for dream entries
that I like to store digitally so I can search them later. Maybe I’ll
write something on dream journaling some day…)

order and disorder.

come to understand that it’s neither. Life is, paradoxically, both order and
disorder.
The very possibility of life presumes order — the coherence of biology
at the atomic level — and yet, the act of living tends toward disorder.
As we live and breathe and move about this world we and it push and
pull against one another; words against wind, towers and tides, edifice
and erosion. Given the broadest and longest view, all created order is
futile. We simply don’t live long enough to maintain it.

But zoomed in, at the closer range of living day by day, created order
is, literally, the fabric of functional living. Roofs are order.
Clothing is order. Order puts food on the table.

I find the challenge of creating and maintaining functional systems,
well, kind of fun. It is a creative act. And, it never ends. No system
can last forever, and no system should. Situations change, needs
change, we change. So the things we depend upon to exist well need to
change, too. That means we have to continually look for things to make
and ways to optimize them. That sounds good to me!
