This review is from: 1000 Best Quick and Easy Time-Saving Strategies (Paperback)

As the author of this book I am bias. But I hope you'll read this anyway because I want to tell you why I wrote the book. For over 16 years I've worked as a Professional Organizer and Time Management Expert, helping overwhelmed, over scheduled people enjoy life more!

While working together my client would almost always comment how quick and simple my ideas are. How they work for real life, and how no other book captures ideas for everyday living.

Sure there are a ton on books on time management, but they mainly focus on corporate offices. How to manage meetings and projects. But how about laundry, to do lists, housecleaning, mail and so much more???

So I pulled together my most tried and true techniques that even the busiest person can manage to integrate into his or her life. My style is non-judgmental and motivating! I promise to only give you practical ideas; you won't find any silly or complicated steps.

I cover everything from speed cleaning, to the paper pile and filing, getting organized, caring for elderly parents or children (including children with special needs), meal planning and then actually cooking.

The book NOT meant to be read cover to cover, if you want to you can, but the book is beast read a few tips at a time. The put the tips into action and come back and read some more.

You can find lots of FREE tips on my website which is my name dot com. Please stop by where you can get your own clutter challenge, find a clutter club near you, learn about how to be a Professional Organizer and view my schedule to see me live or listen to me on the radio. Hope to hear from you soon! Happy reading- Jamie
