master the essentials of clutter-busting-in a single evening Clutter. The littlest things of life-scraps of paper from the mail, shirts draped over chair backs, odds and ends on the counter-have a way... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I like the way this book is organized into lessons with each lesson tackling a different area (living room, kitchen, storage area, etc.). The questions at the end of each lesson help you think through the clutter issues for that area. Line drawings clearly illustrate the examples. The recommendations for action on each clutter situation (photos, mail, toiletries, clothing, etc.) are practical and concise. Get ready to organize and streamline. Sometimes the advice seems a bit obvious: "unsightly items (vacuum cleaners, dirty clothes) should always be hidden from view."
Finally an organizing system that works and lasts!

I have read several organizing books, and this one is by far the best. Sullivan provides a system that can be tailored to many different people's styles. I used this book to organize my office and home several months ago and the most impressive thing is that...it has lasted! I have less clutter, better paper management, and for once I know where everything is! I find myself returning to the wisdom in this book again and again AND lending it out to my many clutter-challenged friends. This book is a keeper!!!
This book saved my marriage!

I am a packrat. My wife is the opposite. Clash of cultures! But this book taught me how to keep my stuff organized. It is a win win -- I get to keep my stuff, and my wife is happy because it is organized. The book is an efficient read -- I got the principles down in about one evening and implemented most of them the next weekend. Thank you, Learning Annex!!!
