I totally agree! That’s an incredibly accurate observation. For me, it became especially noticeable with my digital files. I used to put off all the small tasks: renaming files, merging PDFs, deleting what I didn't need. And every time, that resulted in a lot of chaos and wasted time searching later on.

Now, I spend just a few minutes each day tidying up. And even though it seems like these tiny efforts don’t change anything, over time I realized that my documents are always perfectly organized. That ‘compound effect’ really does change everything.

That’s a great tip! I do something similar, but for my digital files. At the start of the day, I spend 5-10 minutes going through all my new downloads (PDFs, receipts, reports, etc.). I’ll quickly merge them into a single document, rename them, or just delete what I don’t need. This helps me avoid a chaotic desktop and saves me from wasting time searching later on. It’s like my own 'digital brain dump'.
