5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for women working outside the home, 10 Sep 2001
By A Customer
At last, the book that tells you EXACTLY how to do things properly, and where you are failing. At work, I usually manage to organize myself. At home, it was dismal and for once, I feel optimistic with the ideas in this book that I can get organized using units of 15 minutes (sic) a day. That in itself makes me feel very happy. I don't wish to spend 2 hours a day on housework, and the book shows you how to divide your tasks into chunks, and all the pitfalls to avoid. A wonderful purchase, and worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must for every new family., 17 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This book is a lifesaver for anybody with children. When I bought this book, I just had my first baby. Lack of organization has thrown our household back with tons of chores piling up every week. This book has given me a lot of good ideas about the way to run a house smoothly. The best thing about it - you do not have to do it all in one day. The author stresses out that you can do it bit by bit and you will eventually get to a clean well-organised home.

The most valuable thing for me was the idea of a monthly planner. It does not matter if you are a busy professional or a housewife. To catch the bull by the horns you ought to have one.

One more thing, after reading the book you will understand that there no picture-perfect homes (of course, if somebody lives there). If your house is, and you are a clean-it-all slave of it, read this book. It will help you ease your cleaning passion and start enjoying life instead.

I am planning to stock up on a few copies of the book. Next time I am invited to a wedding, I will have an exellent addition to a present.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Excellent, 17 Feb 2003
By A Customer
Even though it sounds like a real housewifey book!!! The principles of this book can be applied to everything in life. Denise schofield has some excellent ideas that can be put into practice easily, in the home and also in the office. My high flying exec friend was laughing at me but promptly put some of her ideas into practice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thoroughly recommend this book there is something in it for everybody.
