When I stidued at uni this book had become a huge help for me. I always struggled to organise myself and thought there was something wrong with me (that I was stupid or lazy). This book provides some alternative techniques to organising your everyday life that are easy to follow, but make a big difference. The book inspires you to get organising without the usual fear or disgust. And it is not just the "creatives" who will benefit from it!
Format:Paperback
I originally brought this book in 2001 and skimmed it telling myself that I would evenually get round to reading it. I never did, and it sat on my book shelf gathering dust. I recently took it out to get some ideas and was quite surprised at how much useful information unfolded.
It is not just a book about organising, it gets you to look at your style of working and develop strategies working more like a coach come personal organiser. I had many 'aha moments'. It gets you to think about your goals and then offers suggestions that really challenges your thinking but also enables you to set up systems to support, with key points summarised at the end of each chapter. You get to look with new eyes at your environment and more importantly how you interact, helping you to find the style of organising that works with your personality and those around you.

It's excactly that. I am still working on getting things back where they belong, and heaving those that do not belong anywhere!
