"I loved how well this book broke down things into step by step chunks of achievable-ness. I didn't have much time to devour it though since I had checked it out from the library rather than purchased. I'm definitely going to add it to my "to buy" list though."

— Women’s Health“Full of useful information for everyone, from the person who needs simply to clean a messy desk to the person requiring a whole new approach to life.”
— Library Journal (starred review)Full of useful information for everyone, from the person who needs simply to clean a messy desk to the person requiring a whole new approach to life.
— Library Journal Starred Review" This book is great for a novice self help book reader. But since I am advanced in the subject, I didn't gain any new insights. "
— Heather, 2/20/2014" It's fine as a tool for someone who lacks organizational skills, but redundant if you know the drill. Where it is not helpful is in citing areas that can cost a great deal of money to make you "fully organizational." "
— False, 2/17/2014" Month by month plan to organizing your home. A lot of Zen stuff included... why might you be the disorganized self you are, etc. I found some of the tips helpful but wanted more tips on staying organized once I rearranged according to her instructions. If only she could visit and do the work for me. I also found her suggestions about why people hang on to so much stuff helpful as a way to inspire me to get rid of it. Bottom line -- some good suggestions and some parts of the book to skim through. "
— JJ, 2/12/2014" Great book, but it obviously is taking me more than a year to get organized - over a year to note that I finished the book! "
— Sarah, 2/9/2014" Very categorical and helps in organizing thoughts and tasks. "
— Kimberly, 2/7/2014" I've recently been through quite a few books on organization/clutter control and this one was a standout. "
— Allison, 2/2/2014" Great book if you are completely disorganized. If you are a fairly organized person looking for some tips, just skim the book for some new ideas. "
— Rachel, 1/20/2014" This book has journaling to do as well as practical tasks and tips to help get different areas of your life organized. If it could only come organize for me! "
— Junessa, 1/12/2014" For those that wish to take a more Zen approach to household projects and organization, this is a good choice. Lots of journal prompts and mantras to keep your year organized by project. "
— Sharon, 12/13/2013" I keep picking up these types of books because I feel unorganized. I must not be because I never find any useful information in them. "
— Gina, 10/22/2013" Doing a 'makeover' of your house (or whatever) takes a plan, and this is one. "
— ValerieC, 10/16/2013" This is my ambitious plan to get organized this year, I have even involved 14 friends to help keep me accountable. "
— Nancy, 10/13/2013" Will really help unorganized people but it was common sense to me. "
— Catherine, 10/2/2013" This is an excellent book to read every month to organize one room or area at a time. I skipped through some chapters that dealt with young families . Excellent chapter on moving organizing Christmas and thanksgiving. Highly reccommend. "
— Trisha, 9/11/2013" I've read through this book enough to know that I need to return the library's copy and order my own copy. We will be doing our best to follow the steps outlined in this book in 2013. Wishing myself luck! "
— Dracolibris, 9/3/2013" Not what i was looking for, but others might find the system of dividing projects into months and weeks good for them. "
— Gloriavirtutisumbra, 6/9/2013" I liked this book, but I think that she went a little overboard. "
— Danni, 5/23/2013" I have used this book for years. It has helped me tremendously "
— Rebecca, 5/2/2013" This book was OK. There are better organizaiton books out there "
— Connor, 4/6/2013" Okay, had some good tips. "
— Skye, 1/5/2013" I got some good ideas by skimming it. "
— Janeal, 12/26/2012" This book did not impress me. I was hoping for something that would really help with action items and felt it was more motivational or "old news". It might work for some, but I didn't learn anything new. "
— Samia, 12/16/2012" While this book had a lot of good things about it, I found that it really was targeted to people with families. "
— Stephen, 12/6/2012" The organization tips were okay, and a lot of good reminders about creating habits, but I skipped all the "zen" sections as the author's beliefs are contrary to mine, and I found the few parts I read to be of little use or importance. "
— Tammy, 12/5/2012" This is a great book - I have worked on it now for 2 years. I always thought I was pretty organized, but this book gave some great ideas about the small things in my home...and life...that always bothered me! "
— Janis, 12/2/2012" Too simplistic to be of much use. "
— Denise, 11/2/2012" Definitely some good ideas on organizing - and who can't use that??? "
— Jill, 10/28/2012" The key to organization is to make small changes over time until you find yourself organized. At this point, I am not in any condition to make too many small changes so I will remain in a disorganized state for the time being. "
— Pam, 9/10/2012" I found some pretty good information and some inspiration in this book. It's all part of a process, right? So...it was a few more steps along my path. "
