This book did open my eyes to one thing, however. I don't think organization is necessar To be fair, I did not read this book word for word; I ended up just leafing through it after the first section. I don't think organization is necessarily my problem--I can find my keys, I have a place for things, my paperwork is filed. The problem for which I am seeking a solution is how to have a less messy house when you have small children.
If anyone has some advice or good books to recommend on that topic, please share! Feb 19, Carrie rated it it was amazing. She makes absolute sense and her voice is fabulous! Not done, yet but getting there! I ordered this book at the library and somehow I got a CD version. At first I was disappointed, I like "seeing" help books, feel like that helps me take notes.
But I have loved hearing the author, Julie Morgenstern, read this aloud. She has a lovely voice and is very sharp and clear and you get to hear where she is coming from, in her voice. I really like her philosophy, as well. Not all organizing ideas are for you. Glory Hallelujah Jan 29, Janet Barclay rated it really liked it Recommends it for: professional organizers or anyone wanting to get organized.
I read this book when I was getting started as a professional organizer. One of the things I like about it is that it suggests various ways of organizing each area in the home. This can be very helpful when working with clients with different personalities and lifestyles than your own. It also includes time estimates for various organizing projects. In addition, there are a number of handy lists, such as suggested categories for household files. Mar 02, Daniel Taylor rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Hoarders, anyone with clutter.
Shelves: business , foundational-self-help-books , self-help , wellness , leadership , prosperity. The first thing I love about this book is that it gets you to identify why and how you use the spaces in your life before it gives tips on how to fix your problems. For me, I care full-time for my year-old Grandma with dementia who picks things up and puts them down and forgets where she put them straight away.
She's been hoarding for 50 years. It takes time to train her to use new systems. The litmus test of the ideas in this book will be creating a space that works for me and Grandma as I or The first thing I love about this book is that it gets you to identify why and how you use the spaces in your life before it gives tips on how to fix your problems. The litmus test of the ideas in this book will be creating a space that works for me and Grandma as I organise a two-storey five-bedroom house.
I'm looking forward to the challenge and recommend other people test out the ideas in this book for their unique situations. Jan 15, Tracy rated it really liked it. This is a great book if you are trying to organize spaces. I loved it because it doesn't try to create new habits for you in order to get organized, but creates systems based on how you already do things.
For me, it allowed me to determine why certain areas in my home get cluttered and established a system for every activity in a given space. It was also "fun" to rearrange things to cut down on time in the kitchen, closet area, etc. Great book! Dec 16, Ed Mazurek rated it really liked it Shelves: learning. If I intend to organize again, I should remember to hold hands with the chapters in this book as I analyze, strategize, and execute.
Apr 14, Daisy Dandelion rated it it was amazing. This is my second time reading this book. I love it. It's practical. Easy to apply to real life. Changed my life actually. Mar 02, Amber rated it really liked it. This book sat on my shelf for years, then one day when I was trying to parse through the books I own as I do twice a year or so , I finally decided to read it or throw it out.
As someone who has tried Marie Kondo and found some valuable perspectives but always gotten entirely overwhelmed when attempting to carry it This book sat on my shelf for years, then one day when I was trying to parse through the books I own as I do twice a year or so , I finally decided to read it or throw it out.
As someone who has tried Marie Kondo and found some valuable perspectives but always gotten entirely overwhelmed when attempting to carry it out, this book was the missing organizing piece in my life. The author encourages the reader to organize in a way that makes the most sense for them. Her advice helps you to not end up over your head in piles that you created but no longer have the energy to organize. Wait to buy storage containers until you know what size you need based on the space it will live and volume of objects it will hold, and make sure it appeals to your tastes.
Organize first in an area that will make the biggest impact, and therefore offer the most encouragement such as the top of your dresser as opposed to the dresser drawers or your closet. This book helps the reader identify and offer solutions to issues they may be facing and points out factors to consider that may be impacting the way they feel about clutter.
Also, it offers suggestions on how to organize when you live with other people. Will update if I ever do. Still, I think almost anyone could find something of value in these pages.
Mar 24, Steph rated it it was amazing Shelves: non-fiction , organizing. Julie Morgenstern has written the bible of organizing. If you need help or love honing your systems, this is your reference book!
Morgenstern begins her organizing manual with her own history as a disorganized youth and how she discovered her patented techniques for organizing any space with her special "Analyze, Strategize, Attack" process.
The majority of the book is full of space-by-space chapters where she puts her detailed process into action, giving suggestions and recommendations for every Julie Morgenstern has written the bible of organizing.
The majority of the book is full of space-by-space chapters where she puts her detailed process into action, giving suggestions and recommendations for every type of situation from your cupboard to a traveling office. There are even a couple sections about time and technology! First, please keep in mind that this book is dense.
There's a lot to take in if you read it from start to finish, so for the casual reader, I'd recommend reading the beginning section and the chapters for the space s you're working on. The best part is, you have a step-by-step process for each possible space with examples, guides, and common issues. My only complaint is that there isn't a modern edition! Even what was new and cutting edge in a 1GB flash drive, oh my! I would highly recommend reading through once if you're seriously interested in organizing.
I plan to use this as one of my go-to references for any space in future. Jun 04, Paul Bard rated it really liked it. This is a text book on organising, and, as such, should be dipped into as required.
But familiarity with the contents is, I suggest, a game changer. Page 39 features simple inventory questions which allow you to introspect on the question of order. Page 42 features helpful prompts which encourage you to write on order simply and productively. Page 50 reveal This is a text book on organising, and, as such, should be dipped into as required.
