The Very Best Book on organizing one's home, life and each day challenges
By DD
This is the greatest book I have seen on organizing. It is fantastically informative, actionable and easy to read. I am going to send one to all of my friends and family members. There is so much outstanding data on things that I never realized I was doing incorrectly. Ms. Platt has done an unbelievable amount of exploration to make it easy for her readers to get their lives in order. This book is so much more than an organizing book. It will inspire you to do things better and to take a more educated approach to one's world. The selective information is laid out in very easy to grasp nuggets. There are suggestions for short projects so as to stay clear from being overwhelmed. I was so inspired that I started cleaning our and organizing six years of garage clutter - not an likeable task. You will take delight in a much more magnificent world after reading this book. Enjoy!

Q: What's a disorganized person to do?? A: Everything this book says!
By Laurie M. Foster
Clear space = clear mind and this book offered me tips that have genuinely changed my quality of life. With guidance on everything from filing institution to healthful working habits, "What's a (Dis)organized Person To Do" covers all the bases in a commodious flip-through form. It's super easy to find guidance on your peculiar problem without wading through chapters and chapters--so a heap of other writers wax philosophic before you may find that nugget of wisdom you're looking for. The author of this book offers it right up--no work required!

Aside from my own personal use, I think this book will likewise make a outstanding gift. I plan to keep it in mind for newlyweds, recent college graduates (it holds all the mothering one would need), or even empty-nesters in need of a reminder on how to reclaim the space they have shared with their children for so long. I highly, highly commend it!

Makes Organizing Fun!
By Courtney C. Hayne
Life is short, buy the darn book! You will not only find more time to take pleasure in life's simple graces and laugh out deafening at your own foibles, but also come away with easy-to-implement tools for clarifying house and mind. "What's A Disorganized Person To Do?" is the layperson's version of Patanjali's "Yoga Sutras", a succinct treatise on how to move from a state of distraction to one of concentration.
