Organizing is the most undervalued skill at work and in life.

Last month, I volunteered to organize my wife’s cluttered restroom cabinets for her.

I spent an afternoon moving out every item, inspecting for common traits, categorizing, and putting everything back with dividers and boxes.

She was happy with the result because now she can easily find and grab what she needs in seconds.

This is the power of organizing skills in everyday life — and at work.

With strong organizing skills, you can:

• Plan product roadmaps to guide your team through overwhelming tasks.

• Create visual design systems that are versatile and responsive to any scenario.

• Code and maintain a clean, easy-to-read repository.

Learn and improve your organizing skills; they are easily ignored, but incredibly useful.
