Easy Organizer Ideas
For Success

My idea of being an easy organizer is to find simple ways to succeed. I want to make my time, my life, my work and my play as simple as I can and still do what I want and need to do.

I try to set things up so I can do well at them and to do things so that others can do well also. This method is helpful because it recognizes that not everyone has a lot of willpower and that not everyone is super talented in everything they set out to do.

What I hate is purposely making things as hard as possible on myself and on other people. It seems that is the mindset; make it difficult so most people fail.

Not me. I want to succeed and I want others to succeed. Doesn't that seem like a better way to be?

But I do not want to only have success through extremely hard work, dedication, perseverance and willpower. I want to have success as easily as possible. It is possible if you have the mindset of simple methods of making success happen.

If easy methods of finding success doesn't appeal to you, you probably won't like the rest of my website at all. If you believe that the only way to have success is through huge amounts of massive work and struggle, if you are all about seeing failure and despair, just move on.

But if you like the idea of having some small successes; keep reading and check out the rest of my website.

Here is a recent example of an easy organizer method:

My son is a freshman in high school and it is close to the end of the first semester. He has a number of assignments to finish and turn in.

His main pastime at home is playing X-Box games. He and his friends can spend hours and days playing. He plays games alone, with friends at his house, at his friend's houses and on-line. It seems that he never tires of this. Of course all this time playing video games conflicts with doing his homework for school.

Now for the easy organizer method. When I was over at their place and could see he was struggling to get busy with his school work, I said to him, why don't I take your X-Box player to my place for a few days so that you aren't tempted to play? I said, it would seem easier to not play if you couldn't play.

Surprisingly, he agreed with me. He went right away to his room to get it and gave it to me. He knows he will want to play right after school and no matter how much he needs to do school work; the temptation is too much for him.

His mother right away started to complain to me and to him. She said she told him to stop playing X-Box so much and to work on his schoolwork.

I know she said all that and that is how she thinks, but my idea is to make it easy on my son. Why does he need to use superhuman willpower just to do some homework assignments done when we can just remove the temptation for a few days while he gets back on track? Isn't that a simpler, easy organizer method to achieve some success?

His mother is more into the willpower mode of thinking. She thinks it should be a simple matter to just not do something and do something else. I don't think so.

If it were a simple matter to just turn the games off and do the school work, my son would have done that. Since he did not do that, it should be evident that it is not simple to turn the game off.

I am more into doing what works best for the situation.

Take away the game player for a few days and now he has some time to do school work.

Here is another example of an easy organizer method:

Do not keep junk food in your house if you have a problem with overeating. It is the simple solution to a huge problem. Make it easier on yourself to succeed.

I know firsthand how tempting junk food is. I have a problem with it. I love it and will keep eating it if it is easily available.

When I was married my wife kept a lot of junk food in the house. She wanted a stockpile of chips, cookies and other junk food for parties, the kid's snacks and things like that.

I did not want to have too much available because I know how tempted I am by it. I am not always able to resist.

She said, I should be able to control myself and only have one cookie. I really can't. If cookies are available, I will eat them until they are gone or I am sick. I know myself.

She would not help me in this area, insisting on keeping this stuff around.

But the having the junk food around caused me to fail. I ate it all the time, got fat and unhealthy. Now that I live by myself I choose to not have much junk food in my home.

It is easier to live this way. I do not want to require the superhuman effort and willpower to resist junk food.

I am all about finding an easy organizer way to succeed. I find success to be sweet even if it is easy.

It is certainly a lot simpler to cut things out that aren't good for you and that you really don't want to do than to continue to do them.

The classic easy organizer method is that if you are an alcoholic you wouldn't keep liquor in your home.
