The speaker emphasizes the need to customize and invent structure in tools, as they come with little structure and require users to adapt their systems to their needs. It is important for users to create their own custom principles in these tools for a head start, as the perfect system or tool cannot be handed to them. The way users structure their ideas is part of the learning and thinking process, and it is necessary to think about how to structure the tools to best suit their needs.
