Customer Reviews

I love this book!

I am a wife & mom of 3 children ages 7 to 1. I have carried around this book with me for 3 months making notes, highlighting pages, & adding tabs. These are all the ideas I want to try...and I (used to) consider myself an organized person! Her main recommendation is to get & use an organizer/daily planner. She has great ideas for personalized forms & making your organizer do what you need it to do (even if you're not sure yet what that is). I was already using a planner, but found her ideas very useful. She has suggestions for real life, ready to copy forms (such as "Items Lent/Borrowed" & "Prayer Requests") that aren't in the prepackaged systems. Mrs. Otto has a lovely style and this book is inspiring. I'm now in the process of incorporating her ideas & have started keeping a more organized, clutter-free life. I really recommend this book to anyone who is motivated to make time for the important things in your life by reducing the time you waste on clutter & mess.

partially changed my life

This book is wonderful if you are a person who longs to be more organized like me. I actually took some of the suggestions and purchased a planner! I even use it. I haven't implemented all the suggestions but I am better than I used to be. I also bought some storage boxes and put some clutter in the garage on shelves. I still have a ways to go but this book will get me there. I even bought a copy for my mom who is in worse shape than me!

The title says it all

This guide for busy people really appealed to me. I found some of the suggestions to be so practical, common sense and down to earth. I find myself saying, "Now why didn't I think of that!" I have been trying to use some of the suggetions and am amazed that time management really works. And taking time to get organized actually leaves time at the end of the day for more relaxation; and that great feeling of accomplishments when all my list have little red checks beside them!

Great tool that will change your life

This book has great and practical ideas for every woman. She teaches you how to organize your thoughts into a notebook and how to organize your home. I have read many books on this subject but this is one that has real ideas that I have used already.
