Did your mom only make you take the trash out?,
This review is from: Project: Organization (Paperback)
Did your mom do all of the house work and not teach you?Mine did. I took out the trash, and cleaned the bathroom once in a while. I just did not learn the skills. I love to have a clean home, but it just did not come naturally to me. I enjoyed Marie's lecture series and love her book "House of Order Handbook, The Best Way to an Organized Life." She has a great web site that goes with these books also. Marie spends a lot of time in homes as a professional consultant. She has seen the messes that people are harboring. She talks to women like me who desire order. They just did not previously have the tools, systems and routines to keep their homes in the kind of condition they would like it to be in. Marie told us at our class one day that the Super Moms are only 10 percent more organized than most of us. I am finding that she is right. She has taught me how to better use my time and get more from it. Marie breaks the tasks down and makes getting organized managable. Marie is that trusted friend that we all need to help us get through the mess. Your life got messy over time and Marie helps you to get through it over time. Hooray for Marie! Thank you Marie for helping me to change the way that I think about organization. Thank you for helping me to restructure my routines and be more efficient. Thank you for helping me do what my mother could not. I hope that you enjoy her books! Marianne

Helpful, Concise, Motivating,

This review is from: Project: Organization (Paperback)
"Organization is a process, not a product." This book helps the reader understand the process. Marie gives directions for simple projects to tackle one at a time (such as creating an efficient "spares" box) to help you develop habits of an organized life. Her chapter titles (such as "pick it up, don't pass it by") stick with you, reminding you of your weekly goal.If you already have all the principles of this book down, you probably don't need an organization book.

Just "OK",

This review is from: Project: Organization (Paperback)
I purchased this book because Dr. Laura was promoting it on her radio show. I found it to be extremely elementary! The circle of organization to disorganization is kind of rediculous. This might be a better book for teenagers as opposed to women or men who run a household. I am not saying that there is no worth to this book, only that it is rather simple minded.

The information in this book is very helpful! I have heard Marie Ricks speak and she is a master at organization. As we just moved into a new and larger house, I wanted to get set up right. This has been just great.

If you haven't got a clue,
By David James (Albuquerque) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Project: Organization (Paperback)
Simplistic and I paid to buy it. This book is for people that have never lifted a finger to do anything around the house like my kids. Maybe its just me but the author's ideas are plain old common sense. Oh yeah that's what is lacking in modern America. If you don't know how to sort or put things away this book is for you.
