=Have A system of order=:  Set your mind in order first.  If you are living as I have taught in the lessons that have gone before, then your mind will assume a supreme command of order almost at once.  Classify what you do.  Keep matters separate.  Do the big things first.  As you classify, drop the non-essentials.  Weed out the useless.  Never spend a minute of your morning hours winding up a string or folding a piece of wrapping paper.  Do that when your brain tide has ebbed out in the afternoon, or not at all.  Don’t hunt for a pin, or sharpen a pencil, or manicure your nails after you reach your work of the day.  Classify your movements, eliminate the useless.  Energize your movements.  Move with enthusiasm.  Put elastic cheer into your step.  Wear rubber heels of quiet manners.  Simplify your work.  Keep it straight, after a little it will keep you straight.  Don’t fall over your work, nor step on it, or sit on it.  Simplify by stopping the waste of words, waste of material, waste of time.  Jollify your work.  Put fun into each day’s round of toil.  Be original in plans and ideas.

=Cultivate your efficiency=:  To all the above add mental energy.  Develop insight, grow new business brain cells.  Do not overload your stomach with food, nor your body with clothing.  Study directness.  Master application.  At Niagara Falls I saw two giant dynamos generating twenty-five thousand horse power, their efficiency was kept in perfect balance by a little automatic nickle gate.  Your efficiency is kept in balance by little, invisible and automatic thought neurons.  A clear brain is the test of efficiency.  Plans, orders, system, application, give efficiency.  Efficiency is positive thinking.  Freedom-thinking, above fear-thinking.  Get out and keep out of negative thinking.  Just as soon as you drop negative thinking your mind will begin to rise to a new brilliance of expression.  One big element in efficiency is silence.  It is the strongest thing to be silent.  Noise is emptiness, weakness, inefficiency.  Silence is the law of greatness; noise the breaking of the law.

=Develop your power to rest:= That person is wise who knows how to rest.  It is a powerful thing to rest successfully.  Over-fed persons, or animals, do not rest, they are stupefied.  Rest is filling your capacities with energy.  “Sleep knits up the ravelled sleeve of care,” or it should.  Rest is relaxing the nerves and muscles.  Rest is reconstructing broken down cellular tissues.  Rest is restringing the harp of the senses, retuning the rhythmic harmonies of the spirit.  Rest lets down the tension.  When you sit down, let what you sit on hold you.  When you lie down, do not try to hold yourself on the bed.  Rest is the opposite of labor.  Rest is recreation.  Rest with sleep is a divine restorative.  When you cannot rest, or sleep, you are expending energy without production.  Try this little code for rest and sleep:  “My mind is empty, my soul is at rest.”  Repeat it with your eyes closed and your body relaxed.  Say it just as you would imagine the swing of the pendulum of an old fashion hall clock.  I never knew it to fail of inducing sleep.  Never rest or sleep with light falling on your eyes.  Shut out the world and noise.
