I thought this was a waste of my money. It is basically a spiral notebook calendar with some generic sayings on it, much like the free one my insurance rep sends me every December! Here are a few examples:

"Prioritize your responsibilities."
"Time is money."
"Learn from your mistakes"
"Throw useless, broken junk away."
"Use a coffeemaker with a timer in the mornings"
"Accept that life will always be filled with challenges."
"Make a list of items you need before going to the store."

Well, Duuuuuuuuuuuh!

Do I really need a professional organizer to tell me these little "tips" and clichés? That's ALL it is. No elaboration or examples, no new ideas, no unique methods for approching a task, just trite, one-sentence platitudes.

I was really looking forward to this book and when it came, all I could think was: "Is this it?"

When the author wants to actually WRITE A BOOK worth the full price then maybe I'll check it out, but I feel tricked into buying something I could have picked up at my local drugstore for cheap.

I was very disappointed in this "book", it is only an empty datebook. Don't waste your money !

In a straight-forward, easy to use fashion, the Neat Ideas Daybook gives me a practical suggestion each day to simply every aspect of my otherwise hectic life. The book also contains witty anecdotes to put otherwise overwhelming tasks in perspective. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to tackle organizational tasks at home, work, or on the road, one step at a time. Great gift, great buy.

Great book. Neat Ideas is full of common sense suggestions that will help even the most effecient person to be more organized. I have applied much of what I have learned not only to running my business, but running my household as well. I am married to the most disorganized wife in the world. Thanks to Neat Ideas, I have finally been able to organize how we do things at home. We now have more free time on weekends to do the fun stuff with our children.
The book is easy reading and has been an appreciated gift to many of my friends.

Call it a calendar or call it a self-help book. Whatever you call it, go out and buy it! What a great way to help yourself get organized and feel good about yourself! Keeping it on a day-to-day level, The Neat Ideas Daybook is for anyone and everyone who wants to get back on track and stay on track. I even gave one to my 10 year old daughter who uses hers religiously for school and sports. It makes me feel good to pass along such a 'neat idea' with great advice that she can use for years to come. This will be on my Christmas shopping list this year for friends and family. Don't pass this up!

What a great tool to help you get organized using "baby steps"
