Finally - Help I Could Use!

This is a gem, and is on my short list of books that I'd recommend to anyone. There are some very key, simple ideas presented in a straightforward and very organized way. It has helped me change some of my worst habits. You need to read (and use!) this book.

Now I've got the organizing bug!

I am a die hard clutter maniac. I admit it. I bought this book last year for myself and I am amazed what it has done for my house. Not only does it give good solid advice on where to start and how to manage your clutter, but it's funny too! The author interjects her experiences as a professional organizer and the very cluttered people she's worked with. You don't need to read every word of this book to get going. It is organized by area and you can just jump to the section you are having problems with. Hey, it inspired me to clean out my basement and my closet in a month. Quite an accomplisment for any book.

Another delightful work by Stephanie Culp, this book describes how you can wage your own war on clutter in your personal life, in your home and office.

The categories are even cross-referenced! This book is a must-read for anyone with self-improvement on their "to-do-list." It is a treasure chest of really great ideas for everyone.
