5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have! Empowering and easy to follow!, February 2, 2010

This book totally changed the way I live my life. I started reading this book when I felt my house was a lost cause of disarray. This book helped me break down my problem areas and easily get them organized. I felt energized and empowered immediately when I started using the methods in this book. It is well written with practical, easy to follow steps, while also offering encouragement and helpful tips to prevent from getting burnt out! I started in my attic where I thought it'd take me months to organize and clean out, but in fact it only took me a few short weekend afternoons and it looks amazing! I have so much more space! Plus I can now find things where I was once rummaging and tossing things out of boxes. Now I know what I have and where everything is! It's such a great feeling. Inspired by that experience I felt motivated and energized to organize more parts of my house. I've moved on to my kitchen, bedroom and common areas. I love this book. It's a must have for anyone who wants to get organized and needs a friendly, helpful voice walking them through it.

This review is from: Go Organize: Conquer Clutter in 3 Simple Steps (Paperback)

This book has been a lifesaver. It is well written and after I read the first two chapters I could organize what ever rooms I wanted. It's awesome! It was just what I needed to clear clutter.

I love the size of this book. It's easy to hold and carry around. I highly recommend this book.

This is not only a gorgeous book, the tips really work!

It is so easy to read and I have to say, so organized that it changed my life.

I loved the stories too. When I bought my thought was that a book about organizing would be a little boring, but this one, was easy and fun to read.
