More About the Author

In 1982 Sandra Felton was a disorganized wife and mom with three kids
and a full time job. Plus a chronically messy house. Desperately seeking
relief from clutter, she sought help from information in books and from friends.
She found the "secrets" that finally worked for her. Sandra's first book, The
Messies Manual unlocked how naturally disorganized people could apply those
secrets successfully to their lives. More books followed. With humor and good
will, sandra reaches out to those she calls Messies with words of hope and with
practical techniques that really work

4.0 out of 5 stars I am a messie? Yes you are!, May 11, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Messie No More (Paperback)

Thinking I would get help on how to organize my household and get a handle on all the clutter, I picked this up. What I received from this book was quite different! I never realized that I fit into the "messie" category and couldn't understand how an otherwise organized, neat person could possibly allow all this stuff to clutter up. Sandra Felton helps to identify what a messie is and how to overcome that lifestyle as well as giving some brief steps on how to begin to organize and overcome the clutter. I liked this book so much I intend to purchase as many of her other titles as I can locate!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Expected, But What I Needed, April 6, 2002

This review is from: Messie No More (Paperback)

If you're looking for a "how to" guide, this is not the book. Instead of handing out helpful hints, Ms. Felton gets to the root of the problem of being a Messie. My line has always been "I have every book on organization, I just don't know where they are!" Throughout the book, I felt that Ms. Felton lived my life with me. I learned a lot about myself. Most importantly, I learned that I am not disorganized, but that I am a Messie who needs to change my way of thinking in order to overcome my messiness. This book is amazing and I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am surprised at some of the reviews., September 15, 2004

This review is from: Messie No More (Paperback)

This is the first review I have ever written at Amazon and I must say I am surprised at some of the negative reviews by other users. I came to this site looking to by another book by this author because I found this book to be so helpful. I can't even begin to describe how this book has helped me in my life. I agree with the person that says this book is for someone who is not a 'cleanie' but instead needs to desperately understand the underlying reasons and thinking that a messie must contend with. I was at a level 1 and now I am probably at a level 3 (out of 10, with 10 being obsessively neat and zero being a hopeless hoarder) because of this book. It might not sound like a big jump but the difference it has made for my life is tremendous. I am shooting for a level 6 someday and would be thrilled with that. This book is getting me there. I am highly functional in most aspects of my life, but I just can't get organized! It is my biggest obstacle and I thank the author for her books. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has felt the helplessness of living messie.
