Amazon.com: Organizing from the Inside Out
Today I am going to review the book organizing from the Inside Out by Julie Morgenstern. If you are in the process of getting organized and have no idea where to start, this book can be really helpful. Julie uses several examples of cash studies examining different organizing problems. For example, she discusses prior clients and the trials and tribulations they went through getting organized.
Here is the basis of what the book covers:
• The three main processes of getting organized, “analyze, strategize, attack”
• Why you are disorganized
• Organizing your
o Home office
o Office
o Kitchen
o Bedroom
o Playroom
o Garage
o Mobile office, or car
• A brief overview of time management
Bottom Line: If you are interested in getting organized yourself, this book makes getting organized an easier process. She teaches you to organize your space like a kindergarten room – where ever section is defined by a subject. For example, one kitchen in the cupboard is only for canned goods, while another cupboard is for baking goods. Julie makes the process of getting organized a lot easier with her advice from start to finish. She also gives great examples of organizing tools.
However, some for some people getting organized is a daunting process. Organizational books tend to place the disorganized in a one size fits all box. There are many reasons why a person is disorganized and a book isn’t always going to cover that. It may eventually get them organized, but it usually won’t sustain them. I suggest looking up reviews of any organizational book before you invest your time and money into it.
