Ab Jackson is humerous and upbeat in all his seminars/tapes. He makes a bothersome task enjoyable to tackle with many simple and logical tips. "Organize Your Life and Get Rid of Clutter" is perfect for anyone that would like to get rid of clutter and become more organized. He addresses many areas and introduces many 'systems' to help people become more organized. This tape is not only a delight and funny to listen to, but in just one day, I have already began to reduce the clutter in my life. I even found out the "why" behind what caused me to become a "clutterholic"! I give it a five star rating and would recommend it to anyone that would like to improve their organizational skills!

If you believe there's just one book for you on organizing your life, especially paperwork, this is not for you.

Ab Jackson's short audiobook on clutter reduction is meant to be funny and empowering. You have to question yourself a bit, why you think something will be useful to keep. In the process there is apparently a lot of humor. That makes this an empowering approach. You feel that you can take far more liberty in throwing things out.

Jackson helps people to focus on making a decision on everything as it comes in, with a default to throw out or otherwise get rid of it. Naturally, we all want to avoid "thinking" and just automatically put things in places. In the long run, it's better to put the thinking up front, making decisions early on. To do so, we have to know who we are and what we want out of life.

This is not one of the best books on organizing "stuff." It is not very comprehensive. But it is motivational and timeless. I think it's worth listening to now and probably years from now as well.

I thought I was beyond repair... but Ab is so humerous and the live tape lets you laugh along with others who are obviously in the same boat. The systems he discusses to de-clutter your life are terrific for someone like myself who just can't seem to get past the clutter of paper both at home and in the office. I am tackeling closets, attics, garages and showing no mercy. I highly recommend this tape for anyone who needs motivation for getting the job done.... which you know in your heart has needed to be done for months/years.
