Haven't finished this yet, but it's really hard to believe that these two sisters are as stupid as the beginning of the book indicates they are. It's almost insulting. Who loses a (paper) plane ticket while paying for kids' tee shirts in an airport store, and then loses the tee shirts along with the ticket? Who misses trains when they are chauffeured to the train station by someone else who IS somewhat organized? Who markets themselves as an organizer, makes lists on a napkin in a dining car, doesn't notice that they're pulling into a station, and leaves the napkin list behind to rush and get their luggage? It is absurd. I suppose it's meant to be humorous.

The Happiness File is a mid-80's venture; hence no computerization, which, in a way, is somewhat refreshing. It's all set up on index cards and seems to be aimed at stay-at-home mothers. Since I'm 61 years old and work part time second shift the timing in the book doesn't mesh with my life a lot. However, there are some good organizational ideas, if you can wade through the cutesiness and inanity.

Skip over the introduction, move right into the file set-up, and see if this works for you. I believe these ladies do have some more modern books available and I will admit I have not checked them out yet.
