8 Top Get Organized Techniques – And Why They Fail

If you want to know the easiest, fastest, and most certain way of getting organized… read these top 8 get organized techniques.. and then DON’T do them…

Why?

… Because when you get rid of the 8 lies of getting organized I’m about to reveal to you, you’ll finally be freed from those ideas that are limiting you right now from getting organized efficiently.

1st Lie of How To Get Organized

“YOU NEED LOTS OF TIME”

Have you been led to believe that getting organized needs a big time commitment?

Obviously not the ideal way to organize your life because you are already busy, right? It’s difficult (if not impossible) to spend lots of your time getting organized.

2nd Lie of How To Get Organized

“ORGANIZE AS YOU GO”

Have you been led to believe that to get organized you need to work on areas of your current lifestyle that are disorganized?

The problem with that is like trying to mix ingredients for a cake inside the hot oven. You need to separate the stages: Cooking preparation, and then the actual cooking.

Would you try and tidy the kitchen at the same time as cooking in it? No you would struggle to get anything done. Same with organizing life while living life. It’s not compatible.

3rd Lie of How To Get Organized

“ORGANIZE EVERYTHING AT ONCE”

Have you been led to believe that you can get organized by tipping up lots of draws and trying to sort through all the skeletons in your closet, including hobbies, goals, responsibilities, etc, all in one go?

Only Professional Organizers would put you through such a hard time of opening many cans of worms in your life in one big get organized marathon. How unnecessary.

4th Lie of How To Get Organized

“ORGANIZE ONE AREA AT A TIME”

Have you been led to believe that you should focus on organizing only one area or thing at a time?

Organizing one small area at a time is another massively false and damaging technique.

Like putting out little fires, new one’s soon start in another area. When you start organizing one area, the area you just organized becomes disorganized again). Plus the dozens of areas not currently on your agenda get even worse.

5th Lie of How To Get Organized

“MASSIVE EFFORT NEEDED”

Have you been led to believe that getting organized requires a great deal of discipline and effort?

If you try to do ‘one area at a time’, ‘all areas at once’ or ‘put a lot of time into it’, then it will be very hard work. With Einstein’s solution it’s easy.

6th Lie of How To Get Organized

“GETTING ORGANIZED = TIME MANAGEMENT”

Have you been led to believe that getting and being organized is about how you manage your time?

Imagine you are traveling by car. You start off on the long journey early… and drive quickly. Is that good time management? Not if you haven’t got prepared by checking the route you are going to use BEFORE you start the journey.

Getting organized must be done BEFORE time management because if you don’t know where you’re going, and are not well prepared for it, then trying to rush will just get you in a mess.

7th Lie of How To Get Organized

“LOTS TO LEARN”

Have you been led to believe that there are tons of tips and techniques needed for getting organized?

Jane emailed me:

“I’ve read many, many organization books, and am still having a problem seeing my way clear. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated…”

The problem with ‘many, many organization books’ and courses, is that they only provide tips for certain situations or lifestyles. You have to be extremely lucky to find an author who has a similar lifestyle and way of thinking to you.

But I doubt you have time to learn from ‘many many organization books’?

You even feel time pressured to finish this web page don’t you? As you read every word here you reason this information holds the key to you becoming totally organized. And you have time enough for that don’t you?

8th Lie of How To Get Organized

“IT’S ALL OR NOTHING”

Have you thought it only worth the time and effort to get organized IF you can get TOTALLY organized, otherwise it doesn’t seem worth trying for?

And yet, because of all the common techniques that fail, being so organized seems impossible?

…So you ‘cut your losses’ and end up not bothering very hard to get organized anyway?

So face facts my friend…

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 super busy lifestyles that is never going to slow down.

But surprisingly, the answer is not modern…

In fact:

…I stumbled across the solution in a long forgotten business kit from 1920 (and the example set by a famous dead scientist) revealing…
