The biggest benefit of being organized is saving time.

Home: In the home, stop wasting time looking for something because you're disorganized. Also, save money by not buying a duplicate because want to use something you can't find.

Save more time by organizing all the rooms in your home including the basement, attic, and garage.

Office: In the office you can save time by organizing your desk drawers and your files (paper and digital) so you find information fast and don't keep people Waiting for you to find the information you need whether they are standing in front of you or on the telephone or an email is waiting for a response.

Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, which teaches readers that no matter who you are, no matter how different we are, every human is part of the same overall story, and what we do in our lives can impact the lives of those around us-- and even those in the future! 

It really drives the point home that no man is an island, and we must be mindful of the effects of our actions. Also, it's heartwarming to realize that everyone is significant, no matter how seemingly average.

The book that taught me a valuable lesson in life and how to start a business is The Startup's Owners Manual, by Steve Blanks. For me, Steve laid out all of the pre-work that was needed to be done before a company should even be started.

From getting out of the building and getting feedback from random strangers to being on top of your company and not in it, Steve takes real-world examples and explains everything in detail. He gave me the confidence and the reasoning to get that ball rolling on becoming an entrepreneur.

Others don't care what you think about yourself. Throughout this book it's demonstrated that time and time again our ego holds us back. It keeps us from seeing our weak areas where we need to improve and often repels others from us.
