Think about when you have incoming physical items like paper: what happens when you don’t have a defined place for them to go when they come into your life? If you don’t do that in an organized way, you’re going to have a problem eventually.In some ways, digital organization is not too different from paper and physical organization: We’re going to be building you a digital organization system as we go through the Challenge, so by the end, you’ll have the tools to easily manage and more importantly find, and piece of information you need.
