In late 2006 I found an old 1920’s course on Efficiency (claimed to be the world’s first ever) from the Emerson Institute of Efficiency.
I then realized getting organized is impossible in today’s modern lifestyles…
That what we’re all really after is to be efficient.
See the free ebook What It Really Takes To Get Organized.
Then in 2007 I re-read the story of Ivy Lee and his 1930′s time management technique of prioritizing… and that made me realize how time management training is 80 years out of date!
See the free ebook on the 3 Obsolete Time Management Techniques (and what to do about it)
In 2008 I learned a little more about Albert Einstein’s ideas from the 1940’s, who offered the following idea about time:
“The train does not arrive at the station at 7:00 p.m. The train arrives at the station at the same moment the hand on the clock reaches seven p.m.”
“Time and space are modes by which we think and not conditions in which we live.”
