Book Description

November 15, 1983
"This book won't make you rich, and it won't make your work go away. What it will do, if you have a desire to improve your efficiency, is help you get organized so that you can get done what needs to be done and go on to other things. The most satisfying reward of getting control is that it builds self-esteem, which in turn cultivates energy, enthusiasm, and happiness. Nothing breeds success like success."--Bonnie McCullough

The essential guide for getting control of your home.
A time-management book for the whole family.

Newly revised and updated edition

Bonnie's Household Organizer is an essential handbook for anyone-- mothers, fathers, students, roommates, or working singles-- who wants to get organized at home. More than a collection of helpful hints or cleaning techniques, this remarkable book offers workable systems of organization. It begins by showing how to apply proven principles of time management to the home, moves through work habits, shelving suggestions, methods for training children to work, and ways to save money (especially on food), to the basic problem-solving process as it applies to home problems. Each chapter ends with practical suggestions for applying the ideas and techniques to your particular circumstances.

Whether you live in a twelve-room home or a studio apartment, have seven children, or a roommate who never cleans up, you'll find immediate help and direction in Bonnie's clear, practical, enthusiastic advice.

5.0 out of 5 stars simply life-changing, October 22, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Bonnie's Household Organizer: The Essential Guide for Getting Control of Your Home (Paperback)
I bought this book at a homeschool conference about 15 years ago. It literally changed my life. I have fond memories of sitting down at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee and my "Bonnie" book. Bonnie became like a friend, offering great advice and encouragement. Her writing style is warm and uplifting. She made me want to succeed at organizing my home. I learned how to organize my kitchen cabinets, and ever since my mom has recommended ME to organize the kitchen when someone in the family moves! And I was the family "messy!" Her suggestion on implementing Minimum Maintenance made the difference for me in keeping my house clean and presentable. I highly recommend this book for anyone who struggles as I did with managing all the STUFF/CHORES in her home.

5.0 out of 5 stars It'll Change Your Life, January 26, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Bonnie's Household Organizer: The Essential Guide for Getting Control of Your Home (Paperback)
I first read this book about fifteen years ago, and it had such an impact, I re-read it about once a year. It's almost time to buy one that's not so dog-eared. Bonnie's way of doing things are down-to-earth and fit into real life. Her knack for organizing things shows in the way she has organized her thoughts and methods. This book will make a difference in your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully Helpful for the Disorganised Homemaker, June 5, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Bonnie's Household Organizer: The Essential Guide for Getting Control of Your Home (Paperback)
I just loved this book. I would give it ten stars if I could. It was so full of down to earth and helpful advice and very entertaining to read. There were hints on clutter clearing and how to tackle a home that has got a bit out of control. Lists of daily jobs and what Bonnie calls minimum maintenance were a great help. If you find it hard to keep on top of the house and it seems forever in a cluttered mess (like mine) this is the book for you.
