Ronni Eisenberg, author of the popular but slightly more intimidating Organize Yourself , has deconstructed the potentially hair-raising projects of getting the house in order: organizing closet... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I had a great revelation reading this book. I already have files but they're all over the house. I bought a four-drawer file cabinet and am moving all the scattered papers, files, etc. to one place that's near where all the paper collects. Got a couple of other ideas I hadn't come across before.
Great Help!

Highly recommend this book! As someone who never has time between work and family to keep track of where things are in my house or get the necessary things done around the house, this book helped me to start tackling the chaos. The routines really are simple, the approach is clear. As our home came together in a less frenetic way, our family life has improved too. This book is a really great help!
Not a bunch of touchy-feely fluff!

I love a rich, meandering, thoughtful book on imbuing your house with a sense of its denizens and making it a refuge and spiritual haven as much as the next person.HOWEVER!A book like that (and there are so many...) is next to useless when you're trying to recreate the Swiss-timing precision of your childhood home where you were raised with 5 other children by a divorced mom and nothing ever got lost and no one was ever late for anything.The key words: direct, concrete, clear, simple, specific, uncompromising. The authors get down to the minutiae so that you can finally get a chance to think about the big stuff.
