It's such a great-looking book and so well laid out, I wanted to like it but frankly this book never went beyond the obvious. It stays with the basic concepts of organization in a way that is on the level of organizing a locker in Junior High, which puzzled me. The only person I can imagine needing this book would be someone who never had to organize anything before. Perhaps a filing clerk just out of high school?

In the first half of the book I learned several organizing paper tips and really enjoyed it. However the second half was quite disappointing. I do not think that adding tons of extra files to your file cabinet will help you be more organized and find important papers quicker. All that does for me, is take alot more time trying to decide what title I might have filed it under, because there are now about ten possiblities. First half great, second half could use some improvement, this is probably the reason it has bad reviews. One possitive word before ending is that the first half has very good and useful information.

Each of us have 24 hours a day, how we choose to use them is another subject. One that this book has help to address. Taming the paper tiger addresses the life long struggle that most of us faces. Every thing from advertisments to zoo schedules. You are running out of time - start taming your tiger.
