Project Organization might be a tedious part of the job yet it's essential to be able to deliver great results under time pressure.
To quote Geoff Richman: 
How well you organize and think about your select reels absolutely determines how well the edit is going to go.
If you don't organize your select reels, you'll get to your first cut faster but it's a waste of time because the select reel is how you create the 1,000 cuts that come after.
