Routine is not organization, any more than paralysis is order.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The rehabilitation of order as a universal principle, however, suggested at the same time that orderliness by itself is not sufficient to account for the nature of organized systems in general or for those created by man in particular.
The organizing principle, which according to an eternal law creates the different essential organs of the body, and animates them, is not itself seated in one particular organ.
We have created trouble for ourselves in organizations by confusing control with order.
The only routine with me is no routine at all.
The most interesting aspect for me, composing exclusively with patterns, is that there is not one organizational procedure more advantageous than another, perhaps because no one pattern ever takes precedence over the others.
Large organization is loose organization. Nay, it would be almost as true to say that organization is always disorganization.
Routines are normal, natural, healthy things. Most of us take a shower and brush our teeth every day. That is a good routine. Spiritual disciplines are routines. That is a good thing. But once routines become routine you need to change your routine.
Routine is part of coping.
Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.
The disease which inflicts bureaucracy and what they usually die from is routine.
