An orderly, efficiently managed environment is the single greatest determinant of quality in experimental biology.
I think the real benefit of space management is best understood in terms of dual systems theory. Using system I all the time is mentally exhausting and, more importantly, unreliable. You need system I for other things, and it will eventually decide you don’t need to do the pushups, or fail to retrieve the relevant temperature for your reaction. System II however will do it perfectly, over and over again. But system II is inflexible. So you need to put it on rails, and make your environment highly regular, so that you can do what you’re doing by habit alone.

Are you switching the usual meanings of system 1 and system 2 here?
Oops :) Fixed.
