The Very Best Book on organizing one's home, life and every day challengesMar 25, 2010
By DD
"DD"
This is the greatest book I have seen on organizing. It is incredibly informative, actionable and easy to read. I am going to send one to all of my friends and family members. There is so much great information on things that I never realized I was doing incorrectly. Ms. Platt has done an incredible amount of research to make it easy for her readers to get their lives in order. This book is so much more than an organizing book. It will inspire you to do things better and to take a more educated approach to one's world. The information is laid out in very easy to grasp nuggets. There are suggestions for short projects so as to avoid being overwhelmed. I was so inspired that I started cleaning our and organizing six years of garage clutter - not an appealing task. You will enjoy a much brighter world after reading this book. Enjoy!

Q: What's a disorganized person to do?? A: Everything this book says!Mar 20, 2010
By Laurie M. Foster
"NYC22484"
Clear space = clear mind and this book offered me tips that have truly changed my quality of life. With guidance on everything from filing organization to healthy working habits, "What's a (Dis)organized Person To Do" covers all the bases in a convenient flip-through form. It's super easy to find guidance on your particular problem without wading through chapters and chapters--so many other authors wax philosophic before you can find that nugget of wisdom you're looking for. The author of this book offers it right up--no work required!
Aside from my own personal use, I think this book will also make a great gift. I plan to keep it in mind for newlyweds, recent college grads (it contains all the mothering one would need), or even empty-nesters in need of a reminder on how to reclaim the space they have shared with their children for so long. I highly, highly recommend it!

Makes Organizing Fun!Mar 28, 2010
By Courtney C. Hayne
"Courtney McDowell"
Life is short, buy the darn book! You will not only find more time to enjoy life's simple graces and laugh out loud at your own foibles, but also come away with easy-to-implement tools for clarifying house and mind. "What's A Disorganized Person To Do?" is the layperson's version of Patanjali's "Yoga Sutras", a succinct treatise on how to move from a state of distraction to one of concentration.

User friendly guide to organizing your spaceJul 09, 2010
By Nuncia
"Nuncia"
There are so many books, magazines and Internet articles out there on home organization, why choose this one? For the first time I picked up a book on organization and to my surprise and delight actually used the techniques right away. The title and the random number of tips (317?) caused some skepticism but the format is easy to read, easy to follow and actually practical. The advice for each topic is brief but includes just enough information to have the reader understand why the advice is practical and then tells you how to complete the task. Most tasks can be done in a couple of hours or a couple of days depending on where you are starting on the clutter scale. The layout of the book itself is uncluttered, plenty of space and clean but illustrative photos and graphics. The uncluttered page left me room to make my own notes about how to personalize the results to suit my needs. You can start at any point in the book, skip around, work through it serially or just pinpoint the tasks you want to take on. The task oriented format of this book keeps the amount of work needed to keep de-cluttering manageable. Anyone can accomplish one task at a time. I started with my kitchen cabinets and am now moving on to filing. De-clutter your bookshelf of the other books on organization.

From Disorganized to Organized in Easy to Follow StepsAug 02, 2010
By Beautiful Things This book deserves 10 stars. The author, Stacey Platt gives step by step instructions for organizing every aspect of your life leaving you time to cultivate your other interests. 1) The Entry 2) The Kitchen 3) Bedrooms and Closets 4) Bathrooms 5) Living Rooms and Dens 6) The Home Office 7) Utility and Storage Areas 8) Kid Clutter 9) Trips to Moves The steps for organizing each area are very detailed. There are pictures through out the book that not only show examples but also provide inspiration for what one's new organized space can look like. There are lists and resources for the ideas presented in the book.
There are stickers in the back of the book To Do: January through December Good Idea I can do this Check this website out Need this To Do Share this with: Weekend project
It is nice to be given a road map that takes you from the cluttered chaos of disorganization to the serene tranquility of organization.
For the person(Mom to Mom) who gave this book one star and stated that the contents of the book was simplistic and could be found in blogs on the internet. While searching aimlessly on the internet and wading through endless chatter to discover bits of wisdom may be a good idea for those who have the time. Some of us would rather spend a few dollars to buy a book that lays out details of how to organize our lives step by step. All in one easy to follow book that is anything but simplistic.
