Organize: A Template for Success
Highly Successful people are Highly Organized, in both Mind and Matter
According to NuNetics, the word 'organize' can be understood as the act of arranging or structuring things into a cohesive and functional system, guided by conscious planning and leadership. It involves actively managing and controlling the placement and function of each part, ensuring that everything is aligned and supported by a stable foundation.
When you're organized, the probability for your chances of success, in anything, is much greater than the inverse.
THE WHAT
Your tendency to be organized is influenced by your personality, with upbringing playing a significant role as well. The personality trait that most strongly affects your proclivity for organization is Conscientiousness, specifically a subset called Orderliness. Orderly individuals tend to be highly organized, responsible, and detail-oriented. They are driven by a desire to plan, set goals, and follow routines. This trait encompasses qualities such as discipline, reliability, and thoroughness, all of which contribute to effective organization in various aspects of life.
Typically, those with a Melancholic temperament are more conscientious. I say there is no excuse for not having a proclivity for organization, whether or not it is a dominant aspect of your personality/temperament.
Start with your room! It wouldn’t be messy if there wasn’t anything in it to cause a mess. Your room is a reflection of your mind. Your closet (what ever room you just store "shit" in) is a reflection of your sub-conscious. 95% percent of the stuff in there is garbage! Apply the same 'idea' to your desk, office, phone, computer, and more importantly, your MIND.
LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS
organize (v.)
early 15c., organisen, "to construct, establish," from Old French organiser and directly from Medieval Latin organizare, from Latin organum "instrument, organ" (see organ). Meaning "to form into a whole consisting of interdependent parts" is from 1630s. The intransitive sense of "assume an organic structure" is by 1880. Related: Organized; organizing; organizable.
The word "organize" has its origins in the late 15th century, derived from the Middle French word "organiser" and the Medieval Latin "organizare," both of which mean "to arrange or put in order."
These terms are connected to the Latin word "organum," meaning "instrument" or "tool." The concept of organization involves structuring elements in a way that resembles the functioning of a well-coordinated system or the harmonious arrangement of musical instruments in an orchestra.
Over time, the term "organize" has evolved to encompass various aspects of creating order, managing tasks, and arranging elements efficiently. These various aspects are our focus.
NuNetic Break Down
Every letter in every language has an inherent, universal meaning. They are founded on the comparative connections between sounds produced in the human mouth. NuNetics examines each letter through its literal, environmental, and abstract meanings, ultimately providing the most accurate description of words. Generally, the consonants is where our focus is in this analysis.
oRGaNiZe
R - G - N - Z
The R sound comes from the use of the tongue (Liquid)
The hard G sound comes from the use of the throat (Guttural)
The N sound comes from the use of the nose (Nasal)
The Z Sound comes from the use of whistling (Whistling Fricative)
- 'R' represents the front of the head and the roundness of the face, symbolizing momentum and cyclical things, and abstractly conveys the idea of authority, command, and leadership.
- 'G' (Hard G - Guttural) represents the throat, symbolizing depth and the ability to express or communicate, and abstractly conveys the idea of power, mystery, and hidden potential.
- 'N' represents the life germ seed or spermatozoa, symbolizing upward movement and ease in spreading, and abstractly conveys the potential for growth, manifestation, and the unfolding of ideas.
- 'Z' represents the front of the head in a state of loss of control, symbolizing a breach or expansion beyond boundaries, and abstractly conveys the idea of instability, disruption, or pushing beyond conventional limits. BUT! not all connotations of the letter 'Z' are negative. When combined with certain other letters, its implications can change.
Overall Interpretation:
According to NuNetics, the word "organize" can be understood as the act of arranging or structuring things into a cohesive and functional system, guided by conscious planning and leadership. It involves actively managing and controlling the placement and function of each part, ensuring that everything is aligned and supported by a stable foundation.
This process not only brings order but also nurtures the operation within a system, transforming chaos into order. Think about what our organs do in our body!

THE HOW
Your room is a reflection of your mind. Your mind is as vitally important as your heart. Your room also reflects how you handle your world. How do you organize something? You take it apart and figure out each and every component. So, begin by cleaning your room—literally—and over time, everything else will fall into place if you are diligent and willing.
Start with your room. What items can I remove so that the essence of my dwelling area remains. Ask how do those that I consider successful, organize their room? If you are willing enough, you will find that nearly every thing you have is useless. You would only be lying to your self.
Your Office:
Answer these questions:
How can I organize the layout of my office so that 1) It facilitates focus/flow, 2) so that everything has a purpose and function towards my goals/objectives and 3) If I were absent and required some one else to do something for me in my office, can I guide them through it on paper?
How can I reorient my life in every possible way to make the probability that, organizing my life will be a template for success, as certain as possible? Am I too much of a coward to get this done now?
You're probably saying to yourself, "I just wasted my time reading this, this stuff is so obvious." Well… ARE you actually doing any of it? The only person you're damaging is yourself if you decide to lie to that question. And if you truly are doing it, are you overall coherent? If not, figure out how to correct it. Prioritizing tasks with to-do lists is basic, but essential. Allocating specific time blocks for work and leisure keeps things balanced. Tracking your actions, interactions, and results is crucial—what doesn’t get measured doesn’t get done. And, of course, consistency through daily routines is the foundation of long-term success.
Questions to Ask:
- What are my top priorities for the day, week, or month? How do I get that all out on paper (look down below)
- How can I allocate time effectively to accomplish my goals? (Use that calendar down below)
Here are my PRICELESS and HIGHLY VALUABLE exercises that I use EVERY.. SINGLE.. DAY to organize my tasks.
