I loved this book. It was incredibly helpful. I used to feel guilty for having stacks of stuff in my office. Now I know I'm a "visual" and NEED to see my stuff to feel on top of things. This book helped me to organize for my needs instead of trying to live up to someone else's expectation. Now I am guilt free with a better looking -- and functioning -- office. Terrific!

This little decluttering text is simple, simple, simple. It's useful, and easy to read. The print is very large, as are the page margins, so there's not much fluff here. You can easily get through this book in an hour. I found the most useful discussion to be regarding the dichotomy between "visual" organizers & "camoflauge" organizers -- visual folks need to have everything out in the open where they can see it; camoflaugers like to have things hidden away. Jessy says that it doesn't really matter which type you are, you just need to organize your things so that you can find what you need when you need it. That's reassuring advice for those of us who like open shelves & piles of paper on display. The author also gives advice on how to get along with someone of a different organizing style. Despite the simplicity, this is one of the better organizing/decluttering books I've read (and I've read quite a few).

Sylvia's book has the information that will indeed help you to change your life if you are ready to do so. This is one of the best organizing books to cross my path.
