Immediate difference in my life

This book has made an immediate difference in my life. I got it at the library and then had to buy it so I can refer back to it. I implemented the desktop filing system, and I haven't had papers piling up on my kitchen counter for the first time in twenty years. I've read a lot of organizing books, but this one was the most helpful to me. Real change in my life. Gotta love it.

Get This Book NOW! For All Chronic Clutter Hogs Especially!

Everyone, I want to share a special story with you. I am an adult special education teacher who has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome/Disorder. Almost everything in my "personal" vs "work" life has been so disorganized. I have tons of late fees, I dont pay the bills on time, ect, ect. My apartment is so cluttered that I almost was ready to give up. I would come home from work, get on the computer and then fall asleep. when I went out shopping, I would impulse buy rather than think first "Do I really need this?" I never donated items, I just kept them because I "thought I would need them someday." i found Jamie's blog on a website. I purchased this book and i'm about 1/2 way finished with decluttering my 1 bedroom apartment. Yes folks, this works for us single people too. Jamie, you have the most "fun" job in the world. I love organizing and decluttering my classroom, but I never knew how to do it with my own living space. I have made over 4 trips to Goodwill this week alone. Trust me if you have a home, you need this book. It won't cost you a thing to buy extra either. She shows how to turn a pile of junk into an organized living space. AspieTeacher

Getting organized quickly doesn't get any easier!

I am a really organized person so I wondered if this book would deliver any new ideas for me. IT DID! I am so glad I purchased it! The format is quick and easy to read, the ideas and suggestions are easy to follow and not duanting. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a little more organization in their life. Whether you are good at organizing or not, this book makes it easy and painless

Terrific in every way

I was a little skeptical at the title an wondered if it would really deliver. Was I delighted and amazed!! It is everything it promises and more. Each little piece of advice really helps. I was interested in getting better organized and this book certainly helps.I still have a long way to go, but I've started organizing using Jamie's secrets and they are great.

PERFECT!

I have been reading through the book. It is easy to follow and convenient. The way it is ORGANIZED is even great! Just like Jamie says - you might not have time to read the entire book, but she set it up so you can use it as a reference and look up areas for organizing. Jamie's ideas are practical and easy to put into anyone's busy life. This book is a MUST HAVE and would make a great gift for anyone!
