Productivity Principle 7…

One vital skill for how to get organized that you must develop is the ability to ask good questions…

“The important thing is not to stop questioning.”
- Albert Einstein

Asking questions is the only provable solution to getting organized

To prove that asking questions is the key skill of organizing, try to imagine organizing something WITHOUT asking questions such as these:

Where should this go? When shall I do this? Where shall I put that? When do I want or need it done by? How am I going to do it? Who do I want help from? What do I need to do first?

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. – Rudyard Kipling

So you see.  If you focus on asking and managing good quality questions, you will genuinely improve your ability to organize.

And in the words of Jay Abraham, a marketing and business consultant who charges $5,000 per hour for phone consultation:

Everything comes from asking questions
- Jay Abraham
