Original Advice

DONT: Use clutter as your to-do list.

Your Piles Are Not Plans

Your floor is not a calendar. The teetering stack by the door is not a strategy. Every dirty mug, unopened envelope, and half-finished idea whispers at you, then shouts. You call it 'visual reminders.' It's indecision, staged as décor. You lose minutes, then hours, circling the same objects. You aren't busy. You're buffering. Clear the altar to procrastination.

Your fire needs oxygen. Clutter eats it. Every object demands a micro-decision, taxes your focus, and steals the momentum you worship. Piles let you delay choosing. Real leadership is ruthless triage: decide, schedule, discard, delegate. Flat surfaces are runways, not landfills. When the room stops shouting, your brain accelerates. Fewer inputs, faster launch. Touch things once. Move. Finish.

Cosmic Context
