Insightful Book

I've read quite a few books on organizing. After awhile, they all come out about the same in advice, each with their unique point of view and maybe a couple of "wow" moments. This book though, had something different to offer.

Liz Franklin addresses disorganization - not as an issue of laziness or bad habits but of not organizing ourselves how we work naturally. We each are different in personality, so why do we need to organize our spaces the same? We don't. This is something that I've personally learned over the years - but never saw it written in concrete terms before reading this. Though my desk was already organized (I'm a spatial), it helped me to show and help others how they could organize themselves to fit their personality.

There was also application in the back, with pictures of ways that helped different personality types. The book is packed full of helpful and thoughtful things yet it's easy to understand. It's also down to earth so that you can actually start carrying out what you've learned without the "inspiration high" many self-help books give.

Though I enjoyed this book, there was one drawback. I wish there had been more applications as to how to carry this out. I wish this book would have been longer!

All in all, this is one of the best books on organizing an office that I've come across yet. It's helped to define the real causes of disorganization and frees you to be who you are, and organized at the same time. I hope someday soon she'll come out with a book on how to organize a home!

A Masterpiece - My last book on how-to get & stay organized!

I have bought nearly every book on organization from many how-to gurus. None really helped. Thinking back, they were stuffy and complicated with stale, rigid rules. This book is the only one that makes sense to me and gives real life solutions that actually work. The fresh, ingenious recommendations ideas found here are great for linear thinkers, creative types and for people who are a mixture of both. And if you have a bit of rebel in you - this book is definitely for you.

This unassuming book offers solid advice on organizing your life that is really easy to implement. The day after I read it, I went to the office supply store for colored files, plastic bins and vis-a-vis pens and my life has been MUCH better.

I am re-reading it right now and will keep it as a valuable reference. As I follow the book's suggestions, I am realizing how lucky I was to stumble upon this little gem. It's one of the few how-to books that will save you money and time. If you allow it, this will be a life changing book.

Up-to-date, Intelligent & Focused

I have every organizing book known to man, and this is one of the best. The author deals with real problems in the e-office, organizing styles, tools, and furniture placement. You'll find ideas you can use.






No more "organized chaos"! Finally organizing tips that work for people like ME!!!

I've always lived in "organized chaos", desperately trying to conform to someone else's idea of organization but after reading Liz's book, I realize that I would NEVER get organized THEIR way... I had to do it MY WAY!!! I don't know if you need organizing tips but if you or anyone you know just can't seem to get it together, I highly recommend this book. I'm reading it now and it's made such a difference for me at my job that I'm going to put her tips to use at home and if it works at home, I'm going to have to call her Saint Liz because she will have performed a miracle!

Practical, user-friendly

Wow, did I love this book! I've seen a lot of organizing books, but this one was full of ideas and suggestions I hadn't seen before. They were very, very easy to implement quickly and cheaply.

I particularly loved her suggestions on labelling files in way that's actually meaningful to you - labels and folders that make you WANT to do the work inside rather than avoid it. That was a huge change in my way of thinking. I'm also an out-of-sight-out-of-mind person, and I liked her suggestions on using simple clear/translucent containers (as opposed to all kinds of 'specialty' single-use containers that just add to my clutter).

A must-read, particularly for creative types.
