I organize everything I know I'll use daily or very often. I take it from the French kitchen term "Mise en place" [0]. It suits my work style, and think it will as well for anyone who primarily has a single workstation (I include your smartphone in that definition, say when in traveling for example). I'm aware that endlessly organizing can be a time waste, but over time I've learnt to know when it's enough, to keep moving and execute on ideas or valuable work, earning an income etc. I can always spend a few minutes re-configuring a specific set up. Apps have configuration, so should your workstation, and your operating environment in general.
