뜻
Being well-organized.
문화적 배경
The Dutch value 'overzicht' (overview) highly. Being organized is seen as a sign of respect for others' time. Similar to the Netherlands, but perhaps slightly less direct in professional settings. The concept of 'Ordnung' (order) is central to German-speaking cultures, making this idiom very culturally resonant. In international business, the ability to 'have things in a row' is a universal sign of professional competence.
