Korrastamisel

Korrastamisel is an Estonian term that denotes the process of bringing order, tidying, or organizing. It is a nominal form derived from the verb korrastama (to tidy up, organize, streamline) and uses the suffix -misel to indicate a process or a period during which the action occurs. The phrase can be translated loosely as "in the process of organizing" or "during the act of tidying."

In practice, korrastamisel is used to describe ongoing efforts to restore order, improve efficiency, or reorganize a system, space, or workflow. It appears in both personal contexts, such as home organization, and wider professional or public contexts, such as archives management, office redesign, project planning, or urban development. The construction helps mark a phase of work or a time frame within which corrective or organizing actions are taking place.

Commonly encountered variants related to korrastamisel include korrastamine (the act of tidying or organizing), korrastama (to tidy up or organize), and korraldamine (organization or planning). The term is often paired with other phrases to specify the object of the organization or the stage of the process, for example to describe tasks to be completed during the organizing phase or milestones reached while bringing order to a project or space.

Overall, korrastamisel functions as a concise, formal way to refer to the ongoing work of arranging, sorting, and systematizing in Estonian discourse. It emphasizes process and time rather than a finished state.
