Take a look at 'lean manufacturing' concept - you'll get a lot of insights about how to get organized. Good starting point - youtube channel of 'FastCap company'. My personal tips: - label everything - 'Mise en place' - get rid of extra stuff - 'it's easier/cheaper to fix problem at early stages'
Lean does not apply to knowledge workers. Consultants have perverted the idea to apply for knowledge workers but it’s just going to waste lots of time organizing things that don’t need to be organized and tossing things that might come in handy eventually.
