Easy to read, Easy to use, Easy to keep with you to read

First I must say that this book is geared toward women, not saying men could not find very valuable information and tips here - because they can. Again, this book is easy to read, you don't have to read the whole thing at once you can read a little at a time and feel like you are getting something accomplished. For example: There is a chapter on your pocketbook which is only 4 pages long but gives very helpful and informative tips you can work on right away.(And this book is small enough to keep in your average sized pocketbook.) I found the book to be very informative in an upbeat fashion.There are just so many neat areas from a file card system for chores, divided daily, weekly, monthly and so on. You could tailor it very easily to work in your own time frames. I had heard about a file card system on the internet but didn't totally understand it, in a few pages I finally get it. There are suggestions for list or sheets from shopping guides and important numbers sheets you could easily type up on your computer, save on a file and print as needed.The ideas are simple and you might have heard a few of them before - but for some reason this book gives me the confidence to try and start in at least one area. I think the size of the book could be part of the reason, it's doable. I've bought some other books that are great with lots of great information, but they are large and I don't always have the time to read it and then get moving. I can read 3-4 pages while I'm waiting for my kids somewhere and feel that I might actually accomplish that goal that day, and if it's a bigger project, maybe that week. I can carry this book with me and refer back to it. From kids, to cooking to cleaning and organizing this book touches on so many areas with so many workable solutions. I am very glad I bought it - it is definitely worth the price - very affordable - to me.

She has so many ideas to help us get organized.

After reading this book, I was so excited to put to use all the ideas that she has reguarding organization. Her ideas are so easy, and everyone has all the room they need. We just need to get a handle on things. After all we control the STUFF in our lives. What I found out was that I allowing the STUFF in our home to control me. So, I was always stressed, and nothing seemed to go right. But, after reading this book, and putting to use all of her ideas, I am now in control . I highly recommend this book. It makes a WONDERFUL GIFT also.
