HIGH-IMPACT ORGANIZING

Knowing that the “More than Moore strategy” is about to take effect, it’s time that we start creating spaces and systems in our lives to handle this. Gestalt psychology is a branch of traditional psychology that tries to understand how we acquire and maintain meaningful perceptions in an apparently chaotic world. In other words, Gestalt psychologists understand the impact of digital disruption in our lives and work to apply an idea called the Law of Prägnanz to reduce stress. The Law of Prägnanz says that we tend to order our experience in a manner that is regular, orderly, symmetrical, and simple, and the best way to decrease stress is by removing stimulating objects from our visual field. Gestalt theory appeals to the Type A part of myself, the side that loves Excel spreadsheets; the side that wants my life to be orderly, even if I know it will just get messed up as soon as my kids come home from school; the side of myself that craves “get-my-life-in-order days.”
