You really can organize everything in 3 steps…
And here they are:
- Identification
- Preparation
- Execution
Identification is the 1st step to organize everything
This is the skill of asking questions.
Everything comes from asking questions.
Rudyard Kipling illustrates this with his famous 6 Honest Men.
“I keep six honest serving men (they taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who”
The technical words here are differentiation (finding differences), and integration (finding similarities and connections).
Practically speaking, get into the habit of asking yourself automatically the following types of questions:
• What is the most effective thing to do in this situation?
• What does this mean?
• Is that correct to my honest assessment of reality?
• If this was better, what would be different?
• How does this work?
• Does that matter?
• What other questions could I ask?
Preparation is the 2nd step to organize everything
Preparation may include creating a plan of how you want things to be, gathering together the tools that you will need to get organized, or chilling out for a while to ‘psyche yourself up’ for the challenge of organizing.
Execution is the 3rd step to organize everything
Execution is that final moment of action that completes a definite step towards a goal.
Like an executable ‘EXE’ computer file, you activate it, and it executes the instructions that have been carefully organized by the programmer.
The skill of executing a task is about that precise moment in time in which we gather the willingness to act on something.
To control thought in such a way that we direct it to activate our body so that something gets done.
If it is a step towards a desire, it has to be done, regardless of whether we ‘enjoy’ the task or not.
In summary..
My highest recommendation for organize skills is to think on paper. Get into the habit of writing down your ideas, things to remember, inspirations, and anything at all that weighs on your mind.
The 3 steps to organize everything are Identification, Preparation, and Execution.
