Spending time to save

How often do we end up spending time re-organizing a disorganized structure? Whether it is code, file structure or just the home furniture or even the book rack. Most of the time though, a quick planning while setting up everything initially helps significantly in cutting down the time spent later on several occasions. At times, not being organized is a huge drawback causing severe deadlocks in work or just trivial stuff like finding the right book from the book rack. How often do we say to ourselves "Let it be, we could look at this later and organize it" and don't end up doing so? Moving a server with huge data the other day, I felt the approach to slow down a bit, plan a structure based on the present usage was perhaps the best. It was incredible to see how smooth the migration went later. Left me being not only satisfied with the work, but also with no regrets for spending time on it!
