And the best way to manage your home is to separate the tasks into tidying, organising and cleaning. 3 separate and distinct actions. The same applies to code and projects.
Maybe I understand it wrong, but I can't agree with this analogy as is...
An organized home means to do things right away. If the laundry is done and dried, then I'll put them away (organize them) immediately. I don't wait for other things (eg. the dishwasher) that need to be tidied up. If I service my bicycle in one room and leave a mess, then I'll clean it up right away and don't necessarily include other rooms in that cleaning cycle. But on the other hand, if I spot some dust in one room, I'll just grab the hover and go through the whole flat.
Actions can be separate, and so can scope and effort.
I feel a house is best managed when effort and scope are low, so it is in my best interest to keep it that way. If my task becomes the action to tidy my home, then I know something went wrong.
