The third virtue that Benjamin Franklin sought to work on was Order. He advised - Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.
Keeping things in order is a sign of a great mind. It is not
only sign of a great mind, but sign of a very disciplined person as well. How
many times do we forget where we keep various things. Hence, it is good to not
only have a place for everything, but also have everything in its place. Assume
that you have a book shelf to keep all your books. But if most of your books
are lying scattered here and there, all over your house, what is the purpose of
the book shelf?
Following this simple virtue can save you hours which would
have otherwise been wasted searching for things. It is not only with things, it
is about time as well. If we have a proper routine for our day, we will be able
to focus on all the things that are important to us, without missing out anything.
We will be able to attend to the important things as well as the urgent things.
If you maintain order in material things around you, it will
also rub off in other spheres of your life. You will be disciplined and ordered
in your activities and in your thinking as well. When you keep things in order
in your personal and professional life, your life will be in order.
