very helpful  2006-03-13
This book had a lot of very practical ideas. You can tell that the author had real life experience with these situations and found solutions that work for ordinary people. My favorite was the idea to spend 5 minutes in each room. That really helped my with my biggest problem, the endless clutter. I would recomend this book to anyone who would like to streamline their life and feel more in control.

Very Practical  2004-10-23
I keep my copy by my bed. It's got great practical solutions and drawings to demonstrate. I give this book as gifts to those of my friends who won't be offended by the "self-help" implications of receiving it! I've implemented lots of the ideas.
Not exactly what I was looking for  2004-08-03
As an extrememly unorganized person, I was looking for a book that would map out exactly what to do one step at a time. I get overwhelmed very easily. The day after ordering this book, my friend sent me a website link about organization, and I found that it was exactly what I was looking for. It talked about slowly getting to the organizing point that I want to be at and how to get there, baby steps. The website is flylady.net, and I found out that the lady who does this website has a book here on Amazon as well, called Sink Reflections. After being on her website, I wish I had bought that book instead, which I still plan to. From the website alone, my house has never looked better, it's still not even close to perfection, but at least now I feel it is somewhat presentable if someone were to show up at my door. Though Totally Organized may be helpful to many people, I find that I need more direction, and more mapped out steps. I would recommend you check out flylady.net before you make a decision.
Most Helpful Book I've Read........ 2002-11-06
next to Flylady's book and her website. This book gives real practical advice, page after page, and I've read a lot of organizing books! It is extremely helpful for mothers with children. If I were to only have one organizing book, this would definitely be it. I highly recommend it.
