Introduction
I’m mid-job-search right now. Decompressing from a 27 month stint at a startup with 60-100 hours a week. Received an awesome job offer last week that reminded me of a Rands In Repose post.
Scan down to “Deliberate Want” and the part about Michelle. My Michelle is Rachel, but I digress.
Decompression allows this thing, reading for fun, that it has been a while since I’ve engaged in. While in startup mode, I read for survival, not fun. But while I was finding Michelle in the post above, and sending the post to Rachel, I started reading more Rands posts.

Do this immediately!!!
And a post on CAVE ESSENTIALS jumped out and hit me so hard, I’m pointing you to it. I’m pointing you to CAVE ESSENTIALS right now! Do not walk, run to CAVE ESSENTIALS and experience organizational ambrosia via the written word.
Entelechy is a fancy way of saying “soul” Rand’s post is the soul of office organization. The elements of Rands office entelechy:
- Self-pleasing environment design (red walls that nobody else can understand)
- Telling people “The door… it’s right there.” at criticism of your office.
- Your “forever desk” …
“A desk’s job is to build productivity, and for me, it achieves this by first providing an immense amount of clear working space.” There is an echo in this blog! - Deep leather couch (so deep that when you put your back against the couch you are in a new time zone).
- “Lovingly curated bookshelves” (14)
Highly recommended!!!
