The reason being it is very "clear" and easy to translate, also based on the local culture And I can use the "multipurpose" which Lee suggested to explain the people why the desk should be "clear".

Most of the places are really messy, something what I have never
seen in Japan. So in a way I'm introducing something quite pretty alien to them :-)<br></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: bookman old style,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br><span></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: bookman old style,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span>Sincerely,<br></span></div><div> </div><div>Frantisek Algoldor Apfelbeck<br><br></div><div>biotechnologist&kvasir and hacker</div><br><br><div>http://www.frantisekapfelbeck.org</div><div><br><br></div><div>"There is no way to peace, peace is the way."

When I worked in software there was a "clear desk policy" or "clean<br>desk policy", usually designed to keep confidentiality. The idea was<br>to make sure papers weren't stacked up but to keep your desk surface<br>clear of paperwork.<br><br>I'm not sure if that fits your concept, but it sounds like you already<br>have the solution with "clean up after yourself."<br><br>--Richard<br>Tokyo Hackerspace<br><br>On Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 11:56 AM, Frantisek Apfelbeck<br><<a ymailto="mailto:algoldor@yahoo.com" href="mailto:algoldor@yahoo.com">algoldor@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<br>> Hi to all,<br>> Question.<br>> What is the name of concept when you try to have some place as ready as<br>> possible for as many activities as possible with minimal amount of changes<br>> which would have to be done in between these activities?<br><br><br> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
