Photos of things organized neatly are fun to look at, but there appears to be more to it. The methodical placement of related objects in parallel or 90 degree angles is known as knolling. It allows you to see everything at once. Similar to this concept is mise en place, meaning “putting in place.” Professional chefs use mise to set up their stations so that they have all the components of a dish on hand as they cook. Keeping things tidy allows for a certain preparedness and control over the things you do.
Here are five Flipboard Magazines to help you tidy up at home and on the go:
