4.0 out of 5 stars Immensely practical; a one-time life experience, October 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Organizing Your Work Space: A Guide To Personal Productivity (Crisp Fifty-Minute Series) (Paperback)

I ran into the first edition of Oganizing Your Workspace at a time when I needed to get my work habits reorganized. It was full of very simple, almost obvious suggestions on how to get out of grid lock, and how work in a focused way. It takes some "humility" for a "seasoned executive" to read through a book like this, but for me it paid off many times over.

I was able to read this book in one night and still had time to make a game plan for tackling the organization project at the office for the next morning. There were a few ideas that were easy to implement; some so simple I can't believe I never thought of them before. (The Tickler Files!) After two work days, I had changed my work process enough to feel better, and thus have some relief. Not to mention, on day two, my director stopped mid-sentance when she saw the top of my desk and praised me for how clean and organized I was.

This book is a great place to start for some easy, immediate results. However, I need much, much more on PDA's, e-mail, case management, and paperwork flow. The success I had from the small investment of time here will keep me motivated to move on to books tackling the larger picture.

This book is well organized. It offers practical and simple to follow methods. If you don't want to spend a lot of time reading, but to take action getting organized, this is the book to read.
