A good addition to my collection of organizing books

I wouldn't recommend this as your main, basic housekeeping manual. However, if you've struggled with these issues forever, like I have, it's great for a new perspective. The author has a useful list of questions for prompting you to see your hangups and roadblocks. Also, her system of working around a room in sections goes a bit further than Sandra Felton's "Mt. Vernon method." She actually has you paint and decorate each section as you go, not just declutter and clean. It's a stroke of genius that I wish I'd thought of myself. I've been procrastinating big time about some painting projects because I couldn't face having a whole room torn apart at once. This one's a keeper, for me.
