Product Description
Synopsis
Almost all the organising books on the market today target the "left-brainer" - people who are generally disciplined, neat, and analytical. But for those who are more creative and spontaneous rather than logical and detail-oriented, help is on the way! In this book, Silber turns traditional organising advice on its head and offers unique solutions that complement the unorthodox lifestyle of the creative "right-brainer." for example: Discover how right-brainers can be organised in a left-brain world; Overcome obstacles that stand in the way of being more organised; Pile, don't file - put paper in its place the right-brained way; Learn how being a "pack rat" can be a good thing. This creative new approach to getting it together is perfect for those who can't relate to boring traditional organising techniques.

Great book for those looking for a different perspective
13 Dec 2005
Format:Paperback
I'll admit it. I've read practically every title on being more organized and all of them are now sitting on a bookshelf where they'll rest forever without a single idea being implemented. They just didn't make sense to me.
So, of course, I was skeptical when I read a review about this book in one of the many monthly creativity e-newsletters I receive each month. But being the bookhound that I am, I decided to give it a read. And I'm glad I did. Lee Silber has packed this book full of useful tips and tricks for us right-brained folks. He understands that for us, organizing has been about as much as fun as a trip to the dentist. He offers sound advice on piling (no, it's not a dirty word) and filing. He understands our propensity for procrastination and, instead of chiding us for it, offers help to make organizing and staying on top of our responsibilities fun. I'm now in an organizing zone, where I handle each piece of correspondence for my small business in a manner that's natural for me but that gets done. A very liberating feeling indeed to know that I can be myself and still be organized.
If you're a creative-type and want to be more organized in all aspects of your life, this is THE book for you.

Exceptional Resource
20 Oct 2004
Format:Paperback
I've read a LOT of advice on organizing, but none of it quite fit what *I* needed. Until now! Lee Silber's past books were helpful and great, but this one completes the cycle!
First off, what a relief to know it is ok to PILE THINGS UP. I feel completely freed from the previous linear models of organization that have fretted me for years. Within 24 hours of reading Lee's book I was motivated to start the process of redoing my office (slowly and in stages so as not to get frustrated and quit). I have already made major headway in my filing system and feel about 100 times better about myself and my work. I still have a long way to go, but I know this book will help me get to a place where I can really change my organizational patterns, negative patterns that have held me back in my creative work. I juggle a lot of things...teaching as an adjunct, writing, grad school, projects....and I already know that this system will save me tons of time spent looking for things or trying to upkeep systems of organization that dont really work for ME.
This is a MUST READ for anyone who has trouble with organizing!

Best Organizing Book For Creative Types
19 Dec 2005
Format:Paperback
This is a fantastic book and interesting read. You will not want to put this down. Finally someone who understands the creative mind and does not try to put a square peg into a round hole. Thank you Lee for being such a positive, upbeat, motivational author and writing real suggestions that are easy to implement in our lives! I liked this book so much I bought 3 of his other books: Time Management, Money Management and Self Promotion. This book is well worth reading and I began implementing organizational suggestions from the book into my life and it has made a huge difference! This is a fast read with creative organizational suggestions you can begin utilizing the day you start reading the book. I have read many organizational books and this is the only one I'd recommend highly!
