I Adore This Book! October 19, 2010
Format:Paperback
With gentle suggestions for finding balance through the chaos, you'll become organized "enough" after reading this gem of a book that isn't preachy or obsessive.

There are so many tips and tricks that help create a calmness around you, The Other Side of Organized just begs you to start fixing the little messes that surround you. Just this past weekend, I cleaned out a corner of my office, and even though it was just ONE little corner, it had caused so much angst in my every day. And that tiny bit of organizing led me to a larger project -- the garage! It snowballed and now my garage is immaculate! I just want to go out there and SIT and look at the beautiful place I created, and what's a garage?? A gross place for men!!

Linda's book offers helpful, easy ways to get back on track to organized so you can start focusing on the important aspects of life. Seriously, this is the organizational must-have book for everyone!

Manageable and more! June 16, 2010
By Ronit
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
With its short, easy to read chapters and its no-nonsense approach, The Other Side of Organized is a wonderful get-off-your-tush-and-get-moving book. Rather than being a how-to, it keys into many of the philosophical and psychological reasons we procrastinate our organizing tasks or simply can't let go of our "stuff" and gives us the positive reinforcement, the gentle nudge, that we all need to get it done in manageable chunks, without feeling overwhelmed by the desire to accomplish everything at once.

Linda's book; The Other Side of Organized is a great read for those of us in the profession, the chronically disorganized as well as those who are just wondering why to organize. She writes in a way that we all think and feel with a personal perspective that makes the process real and clear. Loved this book.
