The section on managing tidying reminds me of the practice of 3Sing (sweep, sort, standardize) in lean manufacturing. A daily, 30 minute session before core work begins can really transform a workplace (codebase). Looking forward to all this!

Hi Kent, thanks for the writing. I'm trying to better understand tidyings and I have a question. Some years ago I learned a lot by reading Martin Fowler's book about refactoring. I think I remember you participated in this book where there was a list of refactorings. It explained where to use them and which steps to do to safely execute on them. Do you think there's any kind of connection between tydyings and refactorings? Is tydyings a lower scale refactoring? Do they share a goal on structure but at different levels of abstraction (object vs method)?
