Order is Heaven's first law

"Order is Heaven's first law" Pope (poet)

While reading Dale Carnegies book 'How to Stop Worrying and Start Living' I came across the above quote for the first time. My first thought was 'wow' - what a simple maxim to summarize the current state of the business world!

Think about one of websites you use most. What is the first thought in your mind? My guess is that you were thinking 'Google'. Google has led the way in setting order to the internet by indexing the wide variety of information. Even Bill Gates in his book 'Business at the Speed of Light' states that information only becomes useful knowledge once it is properly ordered.

Dale Carnegie recommends keeping your thoughts in order go avoid mental stress. He compares the effect of having a clear work desk to that of a messy desk. The benefit is a clear desk is that more work gets done in an effective manner.
