Great to the point information.  2007-12-17
The information in this book is excellent!
Loved the advice!
The book was used and I would not have gotten it, had I known it would come with hair and dust in the pages. Never the less I can not complain as it was under a dollar, just not ready for the hair and dust.YUK-I had to clean it, before reading it. Under used books, the comments section did not describe it, as I recall. I have gotten several other used books that were in terrific shape and clean, so this was a shock!
Superb overview of the essentials of organizing 2007-06-21
This is a terrific introduction to an important topic that affects everyone.
How do you best make decisions about spending your time and planning your life?
The implications are important and require more than a quick read to absorb.
Companion Website Cost a Secret  2007-06-16
I was very interested in the campanion website for this book advertised on Amazon. However, it does not list the cost of the website service. It asks for your credit card, but doesn't tell you how much. I consider that unethical business practices and therefore cannot recommend this book or service to anyone. Be cautious, be very cautious of authors engaging in that type of service practices.
UPDATE - I need to update my comments above to let you know that I have received good coorespondance from the company regarding my concerns. They tell me the cost for the service is on the payment page and that it is approximately $15 per month.
The Earth Didn't Move  2007-01-29
I wanted to give this book 2 stars, but that seemed mean. It's okay. Nothing earth-shattering, not much I hadn't either thought of doing or had done. Much of it seems common sense, such as if you don't bake often, store bakeware on the bottom of other pans or up on high shelves where you don't need to get to it often. This book might serve as a nice primer to the iniatiated, but I imagine that most seasonsed wives and mothers have thought of this stuff. Of course sometimes we get so busy, we forget what we know. :) Finding time to do it now that's another story. (Look at Proscrastination: Why you do it and what to do about it.) I wasn't blown away by this book. Perhaps because so much comes down to common sense. At least to my obsessive compulsive little self. Had I seen this in the bookstore, I would have seen that I didn't need it. However, it sounded good online and I was looking for help and trying to find it in a book. This might make a great fun shower gift or for recent grad. A nice book to have as reference, I guess. Stuff you could figure out for yourself, but all in a concise place. Then, of course, I guess there are "real pigs" out there to whom this stuff really isn't second nature. Yep, I just thought of one, and I am going to send this as a gift. Bet you know one, too. So buy it and if you don't end up needing it, send it to them, with a note explaining that it is helping you organize, including your books, and you're passing on the ones you're finished with. :)
More Like A Checklist For Already Organized 2006-07-14
I've been an on-again off-again organized person to complete slob, depending on my life at the moment! Sometimes I just need a guide for getting back on track & purging messes until the house is running smoothly again. This book is made for already organized people to get ultra-organized. It has no heart or soul, just a dull, dry list of reminders. There's also little in the way of staying organized, unless you go back to each list on a daily basis. As much as I think Flylady is the opposite end of the spectrum (made for someone who needs reminding to get dressed in the morning), at least she offers the heart & soul that this book lacks.
