Organizing for Dummies by Eileen Roth, Elizabeth Miles (2000, Paperback, Illustrated)

I got this book hoping that it would have some good suggestions for getting my home organized, unfortunately though this book is (as the title suggests) for dummies. Most of this book is just common sence (things like, have a garage sale to get rid of junk, and put matching socks together, duh!) To be honest I couldn't even read the whole thing because it was just so basic. Most people could have come up with the majority of these ideas on their own. I'm sure there are some bits of decent suggestions in here, but you have to sort through the stupid stuff to get to it. I have no doubt there are better books out there on getting organized..

This is about the 10th "how to get organized" book I've read and/or bought. This may be the last one I need! These 2 authors really nailed some concepts for me, like "you don't have to organize everything right now!" They gave excellent real-life examples and had some good, solid advice on how to keep from being overwhelmed if you're like me and EVERYTHING needs organizing :-) Very chatty writing style keeps from sounding like a lecture. And the ideas are very practical. Like, "don't go out and buy lots of containers until you read Chapter 18." I'm using their advice bit by bit, and actually making serious progress.
