Organization

# Chapter 331

There are details and then there are details. It is imperative to complete the details on my refinancing, to get every tiny thing done and all the figures to be accurate to the penny. As the closing date draws near, I have to keep a close eye on my email and phone because the banker is constantly asking for more details. Those details filled in the gaps of knowledge that he has, or is required by the state or bank to accomplish and know. They are often difficult to chase down, and it keeps me plenty busy, find the right document and getting it to the banker in a form he can manage and see. This is tedious work, and I am more practiced at it than I would like to be, having purchased a house recently, the process is similar for the refinancing task.

Then there are the details that are more structural in nature, rather than fine nuances and infinite units and components to be juggled. These details are more like what process to use to groom the fields for planting, or which mowers to use for which cutting, the order in which certain things must happen for the best outcomes, how you organize all the informational pieces of your life, which filing system you use and how well you implement it. The more organized you are, the easier the above paragraph can be to complete. The more you understand the outcomes of your labors the more this paragraph applies. The trick is to be just well organized enough to get whatever job completed that you have on your schedule and radar. If you are too well organized and then you have lost hours, days, weeks keeping a pointless system in place. Too little organization and you will lose hours, days and weeks trying to find obscure documents and data the once or twice a year that you actually need them. Find just the right amount . . .
