While I'm not quite at the end right now, (38 pages left) I find this book brilliant. It is such a big help and great tool for practically everybody. It's a little bit like a manual for your life, just like you'd get a car manual in your new car or a manual on how to operate your computer etc. It's well written like his books always are and easy to follow and comprehend.

Diane Phillips
Harvard Common Press, 2005
It has made parties so much easier!!!!
I have only made one thing in here I did not like; The Cubano sandwich, it was dry and hard to eat. Otherwise everything has been great. Mama D's margaritas have made it so I am not stuck at the blender during parties. The Tortalini Skewers were great, as was the marinated shrimp dish. I used to be scrambling at the last minute at parties because I like to make most of my own food. The last ...

It's All Too Much: An Easy Plan for Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff112 reviews
Peter Walsh
Free Press, 2006
Stop hoarding and Start Living!
The really pleasant thing is that Peter Walsh makes you laugh at yourself for the ridiculous clutter you have clung to. And he has some great little nuggets to remember: "If the family heirloom is gathering dust in the basement, don't tell me it is something important or has personal value."
And concerning that over run basement: "It's not like you come downstairs one day and make a decision ...

One of the best self-help books I've read
When a friend put this book in my hands a few months ago, I wondered if he was trying to tell me something, and if I should be offended. Find Your Focus Zone: Hadn't I read enough time-management books or self-improvement books already? Now I've read the book -- and passed on a few copies myself -- and I'm signing on here to say that THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL SELF-HELP BOOK.

As a mother of 4 small children, ages 4, 4, 2, and 1, organization is essential for survival! I was immediately drawn to this book and I was delighted to read it. The book was well-written, easy to read, and had several "Laugh Out Loud" excerpts in which I found myself totally relating. The CPR method for organization is universal and can be applied to so many facets of running a household. ...
