John D. reviewed 60-second Organizer: Sixty Solid Techniques for Beating Chaos at Home and at Work on + 3 more book reviews
When it comes to how-to books like this, there are always some people who will be disappointed, claiming that the information is all obvious, or theyve seen it before, or it doesnt quite fit their situation. Forget all these and let yourself delve into the pages of this book. The approach he takes is almost lighthearted, mixing humor with common sense as well as some cutting-edge insights as to why it serves you today to become this organized, how to begin to take back control, and then have to maintain control. I dont know if the approach is foolproof, or if it will work for everyone, but its worked for me, and Im not exactly an easy case. Ive let stuff accumulate for years, dreading the day when Id have to deal with it. With The 60-Second Organizer, Im not nearly as weary as I used to be. I chip away at the challenge, a little at a time, as I read more and more tips from the book. As the philosophers say, who knows what tomorrow may bring, but at least I can face my personal organizing dilemmas with more confidence now.
