Burned out and overwhelmed, I desperately needed a system to help me organize my work. I knew I was working harder than I should to achieve less than my workload demanded. Stressed and anxious, I was afraid I would drop one of the dozens of balls I struggled to keep in the air. I had lost the ability to be proactive or think past the most urgent task in front of me. The added volume of email, meetings and chat messages weighed me down even more. But with a cluttered desk comes a cluttered mind.

Handwritten notes, lists - so many lists - references, and sticky notes accumulated around me faster than time and mental capacity could process. After nine months working remotely full time, I found myself drowning in paper.
