Andrew Mellon defines the difference between Getting Organized and Staying Organized as ... Getting Organized means dealing with the historic accumulation or clutter. It's the tasks and actions required to finally address any deferred decisions or unfinished business that created the pile or stack or clump that has become an obstacle or problem.

Using these systems consistently ensures that nothing ends up in a random pile, stacked on surfaces, or shoved in a drawer awaiting a future decision.
