Default I have a non-math brain - help!

I have zero propensity toward math. I've been playing hold'em for over a year and have read and studied several books. I have a winning record in low-limits but I know I'm making tons of mistakes. I rely on basic methods to decide whether to call/fold etc which mostly comes down to: "there's 3 people still in the hand and the pot's pretty big and I have six outs. I'm gonna call." There must be some simple method for me to play a little more accurately than that. I can figure out my outs easy enough, but turning the number of outs into an odds fact and then figuring out the pot odss and comparing the two is too confusing to me. I understand the concept completely. I just can't do the math. I've tried. My brain just doesn't work in that way. What do I do to play more correctly?? Is there a simple method some of you use?

There must be others around here who are math deficient.
thanks for any advice --
