Amazon.com: Books: Making Peace with the Things in Your Life : Why Your Papers, Books, Clothes, and Other Possessions Keep Overwhelming You and What to Do About It
Today I am going to read a book entitled, “Making Peace with the Things in Your Life” by Cindy Glovinsky.
The Good:
This book is a great read for people who are chronically disorganized. The author breaks it down with examples of the chronically disorganized and compulsive organizers. She delves into the psychology of why you may be disorganized, or over organized, (or compulsive). She gives an extensive description of how to attempt to conquer these problems.
The Bad:
If you are NOT interested in the psychological aspects of your disorganization or compulsiveness this book is not for you. She describes symptoms throughout most of the book, teasing you by not telling you how to “fix it” until near the end of the book. Thus, it makes it difficult to stay focused on the writing with the way she laid out the book.
The bottom line:
This is a great read that will take you a while to get through. This is not the fast, perceptive read of, ‘Clear your clutter with feng shui” by Karen Kingston. However, it is worth the slow read.
