NOTE: This is Part 2 of the Einstein Breakthrough Story about Getting Organized.  If you haven't read Part 1 yet then click here to read it now on www.OrganizeDr.com.  The story continues below.

So far in the story about Einstein’s Breakthrough we have learned that Einstein was not organized in the way we think of it.

He was way ahead of his time… And here are 8 modern facts about getting organized that have come from discovering Einstein’s Breakthrough.

Getting organized…

• Can happen quickly.

• Can happen almost automatically.

• Can be done naturally as you go about your life.

• Can be easy.

• Is not the same as time management.

• Does not require lots of techniques.

• Can not happen if you try to organize everything in your life at once .

Many people believe otherwise. And that creates MAJOR hurdles in being able to get organized.

They learn lots of techniques.  They try really hard to make a best effort of organizing many areas all in one go.  And expect only limited success anyway.

They never realize the key to getting organized is to actually not focus on getting organized at all…

And after 11 years (yes it took me eleven years) of going through the same cycles of trying to get organized… then letting things get messy again… and then trying to get organized… getting only so far… and then letting things get messy again… until back in late 2006 when I stumbled across this…

Modern Secret
For Getting Organized
Easily, Quickly, And Simply

Here is what I'm calling Einstein's Secret:

Einstein was not organized in the way we think of it.

He was way ahead of his time…

The ultimate secret and modern breakthrough to getting organized:

"Efficiency"

He reveals this way of thinking when he said 'why should I remember my phone number when I know where to find it'.

That is: Why should we go to any extra effort to accomplish something when there is an easier way.

Einstein also once said 'Things should be made as simple as possible'.

Einstein may have learned about efficiency from the worlds first ever course in personal and business efficiency… (Released by the Emerson Institute of Efficiency in the 1920s.) which I stumbled on whilst researching for genuinely effective ways to organize my career, persona life, and many personal interests.

Here are some notes from my personal diary:

 

Organization is about orderliness: "a place for everything, and everything in its place". (This false hope and wish blocks productive and enjoyable success). Efficiency is about cutting waste out of your way and going straight for the maximum value opportunity. Even when conditions aren't perfect, or things aren't 100% perfectly ordered. (Now that's a life of excitement, adventure and rapid progress). Being efficient is very different to being organized. When you have Efficiency you have power to both quickly see and quickly do the one best way to get something done. Your focus is on getting things done, not keeping things tidy. SUCCESS, in short, is a matter of quickly finding and quickly doing 'the one best way'. And that is what efficiency allows - regardless of being 'organized' or not.

 

These 4 points really nail it:

1. ONLY put in enough energy and effort to achieve what really matters to you - don't waste your time or energy.
    
2. Arrange your life around things that are important to your success and satisfaction.
    
3. Don't fret over the small stuff. And have a way to confidently know what is small stuff and what is big stuff.
4. Be organized ONLY enough that you can find everything you need or want - when you need or want it. (Don't 'over organize')

Face facts…

You Will Never Be Caught Up…

It's painfully obvious… You will always have things that could be better arranged, better developed, better managed… better organized. You will NEVER be caught up.

You can never actually 'be organized'

…Because we live in a modern world with a super busy lifestyle that is never going to slow down.

You can only achieve maximum success, on whatever project or ambition you have, when you are efficient.

Doesn't that make so much sense?

That’s what I learned from the 1920 course and Einstein set the example.

But what you can do is learn the skill of organizing, so you can choose your priorities and then organize specific events or specific projects… to your full satisfaction.

You are now primed for Part 1 of this Getting Organized Skills report.
