Relief

I found this book to be incredibly helpful and liked the fact that it addressed the topic a little bit differently than other "get organized" books. I really appreciated the section about the different reasons people might have clutter and how to tackle it, especially since it acknowledges that life doesn't stop while you address what you have accumulated. I walked away with many tips and tricks that I will use again and again. Only downfall I saw was that it says "paper is another issue" and it is one of my issues. But I still felt this book was very useful, practical, and inspirational!

Tips for Organizing

I'm always excited to find a new book on organizing. It seems like I find a few new tips no matter how many books I've already read on the topic. Here's one warning that really hit home for me: "Don't defer decisions: It's a form of procrastination and a big reason for clutter pile-up." I'm working on being more decisive.

What a relief!

As someone who was never taught how to organize, this book really helped me get past some BIG organizing issues. I found myself to be "Chronically Dis-Organized" due to chronic illness. I now know whatever organizing I can do is still good. Before I start a project I just flip through the tips in the book to inspire me and remind me of what is important. I really love the "Donation & Disposal" suggestions because I always prefer to donate when I can. Since utilizing the suggestions I have not had a late bill no matter how bad I've been feeling. I also no longer feel bad when a system does not work, I just look at it as a learning experience & try a new approach. I think everyone can benefit from this book no matter what level you are at. It is wonderful!
