5.0 out of 5 stars A book that can change you life in less than 30 minutes!, December 3, 2000

This review is from: Organizing Workspace : A to Z (Paperback)

I'm so incredibly glad someone has finally developed a concise, easy-to-digest and use organizing book that you can actually read and absorb in less than half an hour. (And believe me, I've read and purchased a lot of them!) I read my copy cover to cover while waiting for my lunch to arrive at my table. It was a pivotal moment in my life - no exaggeration.

I'm already a pretty organized person, but this book has tips and common sense ideas for de-cluttering not just your work space, but your home and LIFE. You will suddenly see your self, your stuff, and your habits in a refreshing new light.

I've already (happily and painlessly) tossed out a truckload (literally) of stuff from old clothing to old catalogs that I had been saving for too long and simply did not need. I can't wait to apply her advice to every corner of my home and office.

Each time I've followed one of the tips described in this book I felt lighter, less stressed, more in control and (dare I say it?) energized. Not to mention clearer. Plus Hope Lafferty's tight, witty, and understanding, yet direct writing style will give you a chuckle as you face your clutter demons. (How does she know??? Has she been snooping around my office???)

At only, what, $9 each, you can afford to buy a copy for yourself, for your co-workers, your family and friends, your neighbor with the pile of junk in his or her yard. What a wonderful, useful, life changing stocking stuffer or token gift this is! Thanks & congrats to the author! Can't wait for her next book!

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of $9.00, January 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Organizing Workspace : A to Z (Paperback)

This was a huge waste of money. I don't know what book the other reviewers purchased, but this is just a little stocking stuffer - type book with a couple of entries for each letter of the alphabet. Most of them are so obvious it's embarassing. Under "S," for example, "Staples: don't overstock." "Staplers: buy a quality one." For "R," "Rainy days: only save an umbrella and waterproof shoes."

Come on.

5.0 out of 5 stars keeps it simple, October 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Organizing Workspace : A to Z (Paperback)

I find this book to be very useful. The simple phrases (such as my personal favorite: bulletin boards - vertical wastebaskets) are easy to remember and the ideas can be implemented right away. A total bargain at $9 - and if I waited to read a 200-page book on getting organized, I'd never do it.
