A real solution to clutter
After reading a number of books, websites and magazine articles on organization over the years, Elimate
Chaos finally
offers a real solution. Laura's personal story in the preface is important as it starts you thinking about
your
own experiences with clutter. Included are fresh, new lists-in more detail- to get you started. The author breaks projects into supplies, physical space,
step
s in the
process
, stories of real projects and the clients needs. After organizing and sorting, Laura provides a shopping list and reasonable budget.
If you are not a born
organize
r, I recommend
Eliminate Chaos
. Laura learned organization and takes it to the reader. This is absolutely not just another "get organized" self help book.

Great ideas
Laura Leist writes a very easy to use book. She calls upon her professional experience helping messy people like me--giving several examples for each point she is trying to make. I must admit I had thought of or realized most of the observations she writes about--the difference is I now realize I wasn't completely goofy...an expert and I agree on several organizing stratagies! But the depth and breadth of her insight and perspective are well worth twice the price of this book. If I had the opportunity and more income, I would hire Ms. Leist to come into my
home
and school me a little further. That should tell you how much I appreciate her work. Thank you to the author, and if you're thinking this book might help you, I say, "go for it."

Great practical application!
I've read a ton of organizing books. Most have a "
process
" to get
organized that
seems reasonable when I read it, but I can never seem to remember the process or to apply it in real
life
.
In "
Eliminate
Chaos
", Laura Leist, author & genius, sets out her 10-
step process
and then takes us through seven real-life rooms that she applied it to. She tells us each room owner's "story" and makes the room alive - and then the process come to life in the room as she capably demonstrates with words and lots of fantastic before and after photos.
I know now EXACTLY how to apply this system to my life and can't wait to do it. This is the best book you'll find to help you declutter and organize
your
home
!

Eliminate
Chaos
is a user-friendly system for organizing each room of the house, including the kitchen and pantry, closet, garage,
home office
, and childrens' rooms. The author?s ten-
step system
is presented in an easy-to-use, workbook-style layout. Full-color photos demonstrate the various stages of the organizing
process
, illustrating not just "before and after," but the realistic, messy, all-important steps in between. Leist?s method is based on the underlying principle that ?it?s not about the stuff.? She touches on the psychological reasons behind clutter and not letting go ? such as procrastination, denial, thrift, and family history ? but her underlying premise is that being
organize
d is an on-going process, not a one-day event. By learning to sort, prioritize, and make fast, rational decisions about their household goods, readers become more efficient and functional not just at home, but in other areas of
life
as well.
