2.0 out of 5 stars Organized, but off topic, April 13, 2004

This review is from: Get Organized With Heloise (Paperback)

Although this book was written well enough, with a catchy, accessible tone, I was disappointed by how little of it related to organization. I'd been expecting a volume that would offer me good, concrete hints on organizing the clutter in my house and office. And indeed, "Get Organized with Heloise" starts out that way, but quickly veers off course. Hints for finding a mover? Taking your pet to the vet? Throwing a party? All useful I'm sure, but what do they have to do with organization?

I haven't read one of Heloise's books before, so for all I know this grab-bag approach may be her preferred format, and maybe it's a format her loyal readers enjoy. But for me this book didn't provide the organizational tips it advertised. The final mark of its weakness is that after only finishing it a couple of days ago I can only remember two suggestions made in this book, one of which is useful to me ("five minutes or five things") and the other of which is not (color-coding your pantry). I'd hoped for much more.
