Professional Manager From London UK reveals…

Why Einstein Never Bothered With
Getting Organized

This True Story About Albert Einstein Reveals
Why Efficiency Is Far More Important
Than Trying To Get Organized

(And why getting organized
isn't even possible)

True story:

At the end of an interview with Albert Einstein the reporter asked:

"Mr Einstein, would it be possible to take your phone number in case I have any further questions?"

"Certainly" replied Einstein. He picked up the phone directory and looked up his phone number, then wrote it on a slip of paper and handed it to the reporter.

Dumbfounded, the reporter said…

"You are considered to be the smartest man in the world and you can't remember your own phone number?"

Einstein replied,

"Why should I memorize something when I know where to find it?"

Aren't we talking about the smartest man in the world of his time? And he can't remember his OWN phone number?

But look – it gets 'worse'.

Here's a picture of Einstein's gawd-awful messy looking desk…
einstein's desk…

Would you even hazard a guess at where the phone book is amongst all that clutter!

But you see, Einstein knew…

The Ultimate Secret Of Being Organized

And it has NOTHING to do with how 'neat and tidy' things are around you.

Imagine yourself sitting with Einstein at that cluttered desk when he says to you in his Anglo-German accent:

"Out of clutter, find simplicity…
From discord find harmony…
In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity."

That's a real quote of Albert Einstein, who was obviously not organized in the way we generally think of it.

And despite training people in personal organization since 1999 it took me untiil late 2006 until I stumbled across this powerful secret of what it really takes to get organized… I discoverd the secret inside a dusty old book from 1920.

What Getting Organized Is Really All About

Einstein was way ahead of his time… And here are 7 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 so called 'get organized techniques'. They try really hard to make a best effort of organizing many areas all in one go – but 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:

The ultimate secret and modern breakthrough to getting organized is:

Efficiency

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

That is:

Organization is about orderliness: "a place for everything, and everything in its place".

(This false hope and wish blocks productive and enjoyable success).

Efficiency means 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.

With Efficiency – 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.

Think about it…

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… published by the Emerson Institute of Efficiency as far back as the 1920s!)…

It seems to have been lost until 2007, when I stumbled across it during researching into the roots of 'get organized' theory and technique.

Here are some notes from my personal diary about Efficiency:

These 4 points really nail it:

ONLY put in enough energy and effort to achieve what really matters to you – don't waste your time or energy.
Arrange your life around things that are important to your success and satisfaction.
Don't fret over the small stuff. And have a way to confidently know what is small stuff and what is big stuff.
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 'get 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.
