Are you a chaotrope or kosmotrope?

For most of his early life, James was an extreme chaotrope.

At a young age, Pat carried a briefcase (obvious kosmotrope).

And yet, James found the religion of defeating chaotic workflows while Pat turned out to be pretty damn cool…and exceptionally organized.

In this segment, the Gifted Underachievers discuss identifying chaos in their respective work habits and then how to eliminate them without driving themselves nuts.

Questions for Listeners:

* How do you iteratively improve your work processes?
