5.0 out of 5 stars
depressed by the mess?, July 29, 2001
This review is from: The Messie Motivator: New Strategies to Restoring Order in Your Life and Home (Messies Series) (Paperback)
This is a great little uplifting, inspiring read for the chronically disorganized & messy (particularly women with ADD). This is NOT a how-to book that will send you out to the Organized Living store to buy shelves & closet cubes & spice organizers & the like. It IS a book about messiness and depression, disorganization and self-esteem. Felton, founder of Messies Anonymous, offers many practical tips to help you learn how to tackle clutter & mess systematically. She also discusses the self-esteem issues that often lead to messiness. Felton describes a "messie personality" -- it sounds alot like ADD to me. If you're just looking for a few low-level organizational tips, I'd recommend that you skip this book. If you're chronically messy and you're not sure why & even worse, you're not sure how to deal with it, this may be just what you need.

Good for Messies, Marginal Messies & Perfectionists, September 2, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Messie Motivator: New Strategies to Restoring Order in Your Life and Home (Messies Series) (Paperback)
I didn't think I was a Messie ... I thought I was a perfectionist who was pretty well organized but just worked too slow. After reading this book I realized how wrong I was! And I guess I'll have to admit it ... I AM a Messie. I am MORE than poorly organized! And I AM a perfectionist who can't seem to get it all together! Sandra Felton offers some excellent, easy to follow and implement changes to the way we look at housework. Some of her principles could be used for any type of work, or for students. None of it is rocket-science, but I bet it will work for almost anyone. In the eight weeks since I received this book from Amazon my home has gone from marginal disarray and clutter everywhere, to true organization AND cleanliness! And you wouldn't believe how much more time I have! Overall, a fast read with good suggestions that can quickly get you organized.

Sandra Felton is charming and witty in this book - no dry reading here! Lots of good advise and amazing insight into the minds of all of us "messies" out here. Ms. Felton has many tips for organizing your life as well as your house. Truly a MUST READ!
