This sounds like the 5S framework from Toyota, where people keep areas, neat, clean, and organized as a work principal.

The 5S acronym is:

Sort (remove what you don’t need)

Set in Order (organize what remains so it’s easy to find/use)

Shine (clean the area regularly)

Standardize (create consistent rules/checklists)

Sustain (maintain the discipline long-term)



The difference to me is that 5S is about making a shared environment predictable and efficient, while what the article describes feels more like a personal cognitive reset
