Book Description

April 2, 2010
An easy-to-read, idea-packed guide for anyone who wants to be more organized—and who doesn't?

Everyone has overflowing closets and desk drawers, countertops loaded with kitchen gadgets, and overstuffed computer desktops. We dream of getting organized—but what's a disorganized person to do? In this book, professional organizer Stacey Platt comes to the rescue with empowering ideas on putting and keeping things in order.

Like earlier titles in the series, such as the best-selling What's a Cook to Do?, this book offers easy-to-scan and access solutions to everyday aggravations: How do you keep from misplacing your cell phone or house keys? What's the best way to organize the fridge? How do you pack efficiently for a trip? This user-friendly book, illustrated with stylish, full-color photography, is up-to-date on the latest technologies for organizing everything from music to family photos.

Here are hundreds of ingenious solutions for gaining control of clutter so you can live happily in your space. There are quick solutions as well as one-hour projects—from organizing your emails so you can find your passwords to sorting the area under the bathroom sink—that readers can tackle, one weekend at a time, with big payoffs. From the kitchen to the home office, the bedroom closet to the car, this thoughtful guide will help readers carve out more space and more time.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Very Best Book on organizing one's home, life and every day challenges, March 24, 2010

This review is from: What's a Disorganized Person to Do? (Paperback)
This is the greatest book I have seen on organizing. It is incredibly informative, actionable and easy to read. I am going to send one to all of my friends and family members. There is so much great information on things that I never realized I was doing incorrectly. Ms. Platt has done an incredible amount of research to make it easy for her readers to get their lives in order. This book is so much more than an organizing book. It will inspire you to do things better and to take a more educated approach to one's world. The information is laid out in very easy to grasp nuggets. There are suggestions for short projects so as to avoid being overwhelmed. I was so inspired that I started cleaning our and organizing six years of garage clutter - not an appealing task. You will enjoy a much brighter world after reading this book. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Q: What's a disorganized person to do?? A: Everything this book says!, March 20, 2010
This review is from: What's a Disorganized Person to Do? (Paperback)
Clear space = clear mind and this book offered me tips that have truly changed my quality of life. With guidance on everything from filing organization to healthy working habits, "What's a (Dis)organized Person To Do" covers all the bases in a convenient flip-through form. It's super easy to find guidance on your particular problem without wading through chapters and chapters--so many other authors wax philosophic before you can find that nugget of wisdom you're looking for. The author of this book offers it right up--no work required!

Aside from my own personal use, I think this book will also make a great gift. I plan to keep it in mind for newlyweds, recent college grads (it contains all the mothering one would need), or even empty-nesters in need of a reminder on how to reclaim the space they have shared with their children for so long. I highly, highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes Organizing Fun!, March 28, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: What's a Disorganized Person to Do? (Paperback)
Life is short, buy the darn book! You will not only find more time to enjoy life's simple graces and laugh out loud at your own foibles, but also come away with easy-to-implement tools for clarifying house and mind. "What's A Disorganized Person To Do?" is the layperson's version of Patanjali's "Yoga Sutras", a succinct treatise on how to move from a state of distraction to one of concentration.
