Order Creates Quality: What Your Desk Reveals About Your Results

Publish Date: Jul 22

When quality is discussed, it often revolves around processes, tools, and KPIs. What’s frequently overlooked is order. Both practice and research repeatedly show how strongly visual structure influences quality.

A study by Fraunhofer IPA (2021) proves: once cleanliness and structure are established in the workplace, error rates drop on average by 30%. In automotive supply, a 5S-compliant workplace design leads to 22% higher productivity according to McKinsey (2020) — alongside measurably better results.


What does this have to do with TimeSpin?

Simple: order works everywhere — even digitally.

Those who use TimeSpin not only ensure structured time tracking but also bring order to tasks, documentation, and self-management.

✔ Clearly defined activities make focus visible.
✔ Documentation happens alongside work, not afterward.
✔ Priorities become clear instead of getting lost in multitasking.


Cognitive Relief Leads to Better Decisions

Studies in cognitive psychology show: visual clutter causes sensory overload, increases mental load, and worsens decision-making (Speier et al., 2003). This applies not only to workbenches but also to digital dashboards, unorganized calendars, or chaotic project folders.

TimeSpin addresses this exactly: it creates order, visibility, and clarity — the foundation for quality work.


Mieruka for Knowledge Work

In Lean Management, the saying goes: only what is visible can be improved. The Japanese term “Mieruka” describes exactly this. Order is not an end in itself but a system: it makes deviations visible before they become errors.

“Those who don’t create order in digital processes will struggle to control quality.”

That’s why TimeSpin is more than just a timer. It is a quality tool for modern knowledge work. It brings structure to the workday, reduces mental load, and creates space for what matters most: good results.


The takeaway:

Anyone who wants better work results should not leave order to chance — neither physical nor digital. TimeSpin helps make this order visible, simple, and sustainable.
