Group loose pens/pencils together
Por qué este hábito ayuda
Visual clutter has been shown to increase cortisol levels and reduce cognitive performance by forcing the brain to process irrelevant information, according to Princeton Neuroscience Institute research.
Organizing small items creates micro-successes that build momentum for larger organizing tasks, activating the brain's reward system and increasing motivation for continued productivity.

Resumen rápido
Scattered pens and pencils represent one of the most common forms of 'visual noise' in workspaces. While individually small, their cumulative effect creates a sense of disorder that subtly drains mental energy throughout the day.
This simple organizing act serves as a gateway habit to larger organizational efforts. The immediate visual payoff reinforces the value of order and creates a template for tackling more complex organizing challenges.

💬 Tus Historias de Éxito
I had pens scattered across my desk, in drawers, everywhere. Grouping them together took two minutes but made my workspace feel completely different. Now I have one pen cup, and I know exactly where to find what I need. It seems trivial, but that small order has made my whole work area feel more professional and intentional.
