Enjoy the journey to a better organized life, 31 Dec 2001
By Lenny Laskowski "President of LJL Seminars (tm)" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Organizing Your Life (Keep It Simple) (Paperback)
As a professional speaker and author of several books on presentation skills and public speaking, I have always had a keen appreciation for the management of time. In fact, I had the privilege of participating in one of Don Wetmore's three day programs about 10 years ago, and still use his strategies today in my own business. My most recent book, 10 Days to More Confident Public Speaking (Warner Books, 2001) would not have been completed on time if I hadn't been well organized. As an international professional speaker, I spend a lot of time traveling and I know from first hand experience that there is a correlation between good time management and career success. Th opposite is true as well. Failing to manage your time will limit your opportunities for success.
Beyond career success, however, managing your time effectively permits you to do more of the things you want to do and enjoy a better quality of life every day-both at work and at home. The K.I.S.S. Guide to Organizing Your Life guides you along the path to more effective time management, starting with the important step of balancing your life. After all, good time management isn't based on doing the wrong things quicker-that just gets you nowhere faster. Instead, this guide show you how to achieve better balance in every aspect of your life.
Don has taken a complex topic and boiled it down to a simple step-by-step plan that can be readily implemented by all readers-and I like that. There's enough complexity in your life already; the last thing you need is an even more complex and cumbersome system to manage it! Luckily, Don has devised a easy-to-implement, 20-step action plan to organize your life. In fact, if you follow one of Don'd steps each weekday for the next four weeks, you will be surprised by the enormous strides you'll make toward managing-and enjoying-tasks and responsibilities that may have once seemed overwhelming.
The methods Don writes about, and uses every day, are not lofty theory, but, rather, practical, common sense tools and techniques that he has tested himself; If they work for him-and they can work for you, too.

Just Do It!, 29 May 2002
By Abby Marks-Beale - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Organizing Your Life (Keep It Simple) (Paperback)
Don Wetmore's "Guide to Organizing your Life" is a well-thought out, thorough and easy-to-read time management book. If you read and implement even a quarter of the strategies, you would have many more hours in your day and much less stress as a result! One of the most useful aspects of this book is its interactive exercises: the reader identifies their own strengths and weaknesses and is then provided with concrete, practical ways to develop better habits. Readers are empowered to live on purpose and always be thinking "what's in it. . . for me!"
I personally liked the weblinks that provided me with more or related information about each of the topics. The book is colorful with many photos that encourage a reader to keep reading.
I highly receommend this book for everyone: those who have never taken a time management course before AND those who have. It is a thorough book with lots for everyone.

Great ideas - Great Book, 4 Oct 2003
By Sally Green "Hwscleaner" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Organizing Your Life (Keep It Simple) (Paperback)
Keeping things organized and getting things done have always been difficult for me. I found Don's book very easy to read. It has some phenomenal tips and practical ideas that can be implemented right away. In today's hectic world, it is refreshing to find a book that helps to make life easier. I keep it by my nightstand and refer to it frequently, as it can be read straight through, or in bits and pieces by subject matter. The back of the book has a wonderful index that makes it easy to find what you're looking for. There is also a preferred reading list and a list of useful web sites. I recommend it for anyone who needs more organization in their life.
