How we choose to organize data makes all the difference. Imagine a messy closet versus a neatly arranged one. If we simply toss data into a database without sorting, we save time at first — but spend far more later trying to find what’s relevant.
If instead we take a little extra time up front to organize, categorize, and label information properly, we make it easy to retrieve the right data when we need it. In organizations, where decisions must be based on accurate information, that initial investment pays off.
A small effort in the beginning can save a lot of frustration — and lead to faster, better decisions in the long run.
