<p>You really can organize everything in 3 steps&#8230;</p>
<p>And here they are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Identification</li>
<li>Preparation</li>
<li>Execution</li>
</ul>
<h3>Identification is the 1st step to organize everything</h3>
<p>This is the skill of asking questions.</p>
<p>Everything comes from asking questions.</p>
<p>Rudyard Kipling illustrates this with his famous 6 Honest Men.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#034;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&#034;</p></blockquote>
<p>The technical words here are differentiation (finding differences), and integration (finding similarities and connections).</p>
<p>Practically speaking, get into the habit of asking yourself automatically the following types of questions:</p>
<p>•	What is the most effective thing to do in this situation?<br />
•	What does this mean?<br />
•	Is that correct to my honest assessment of reality?<br />
•	If this was better, what would be different?<br />
•	How does this work?<br />
•	Does that matter?<br />
•	What other questions could I ask?</p>
<h3>Preparation is the 2nd step to organize everything</h3>
<p>Preparation may include creating a plan of how you want things to be, gathering together the tools that you will need to <a href="http://www.gavrielshaw.com/go/7steps" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://www.gavrielshaw.com/go/7steps';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">get organized</a>, or chilling out for a while to &#039;psyche yourself up&#039; for the challenge of organizing.</p>
<h3>Execution is the 3rd step to organize everything</h3>
<p>Execution is that final moment of action that completes a definite step towards a goal.</p>
<p>Like an executable &#039;EXE&#039; computer file, you activate it, and it executes the instructions that have been carefully organized by the programmer.</p>
<p>The skill of executing a task is about that precise moment in time in which we gather the willingness to act on something.</p>
<p>To control thought in such a way that we direct it to activate our body so that something gets done.</p>
<p>If it is a step towards a desire, it has to be done, regardless of whether we &#039;enjoy&#039; the task or not.</p>
<h3>In summary..</h3>
<p>My highest recommendation for <a href="http://www.gavrielshaw.com/post/3626/">organize skills</a> 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.</p>
<p>The 3 steps to organize everything are Identification, Preparation, and Execution.</p>
