Product Description
Organizing has become a huge industry and no wonder: we all have overflowing wardrobes and desk drawers, countertops littered with kitchen gadgets, and overstuffed computer desktops. We dream of getting organized - but what's a disorganized person to do? In this book, professional organizer Stacey Platt comes to our rescue with empowering ideas on putting and keeping things in order. Like earlier books in the series, such as "What's a Cook to Do?", the solutions are easy to scan and access. How do you organize the fridge? What about kids' artwork or your music collection? How do you pack efficiently for a trip? Here are hundreds of ingenious solutions for gaining control of clutter so you can live happily in your space.

The quest is over!
After researching dozens of books - and even planning my own 'tidy guide' I now realize that probably the best book ever on de-cluttering and organization has already been written by Stacey Platt.
It is an American publication - so the section on finance naturally refers to the USA Revenue system; otherwise this book is full of incredibly useful information.
What is more, the method for certain tasks (such as folding clothes correctly) is explained in a clear fashion. Such skills are not always passed from parent to child - and you would be surprised at the difference that folding a towel properly makes to your linen cupboard!
The photographs are really impressive and strongly underpin the potentially organized person's need to visualize a positive end result.
This blindingly good book wastes no time in waffling - but offers clear, sound advice.
Save your money and don't bother with the directionless, limpid psycho-babble to be found in some rival `self-help' guides.

This is going to be quite a short review unfortunatel, some of the ideas are ingenius in this book - but the focus is not on money saving its on being organised although some of the tips are really good. It is also an American book so some of the names / product names don't travel. Overall however, the ideas for being organised are inspiring and useful - such as googling images to put on labels for your younger kid's toy boxes and putting them on cardboard labels or leaving shoes in the boxes and placing pictures on them in the wardrobe so they arent all over the place.

Lots of little suggestions for how to make your home less cluttered. My mum came to visit and promptly disappeared with the book back home. She sent me lots of texts with good suggestions! Have implemented a few ideas. Some would be obvious, but some are innovative and good ideas

a bit basic, states the obvious
was hoping to get a great book stuffed with ideas - but if the ideas themselves are the usual stuff regurgitated in many many other books, it's not brilliantly original. Read more
