A
Ready Reference Guide to with Hundreds of Solutions to Your Everyday
Clutter Challenges
Desk drowning in papers? No room
for the car in the garage? Santa still sitting on the roof in May?
A less-is-more philosophy is great, but we all still have way too
much stuff. The home office swallows up whole rooms, as does the
family computer station. Then there’s the home gym, the TV
room, and the playroom, not to mention our collections — books,
CDs, toys. Time management experts agree that when the minor things
that take up space in the mind are eliminated, there is room to
think about the big things. The same goes for the home. The visual
clarity that comes from de-cluttering rooms, finances, and time
promotes mental clarity, peacefulness, and contemplation. When everything
is organized, it is easier to enjoy the meaningful things in life.
Organizing Plain & Simple is like
a course from an expert teacher, grounded in the fundamentals and
enriched with philosophy, tips, anecdotes, illustrations — everything
necessary to make home and life run more smoothly. Donna Smallin takes
a personalized, nonjudgmental approach to explaining how to assess
each individual’s situation and suggesting where to start organizing
— room by room — and then covers how to stay organized.
Then she offers advice on organizing time and finances, as well as
organizing for the seasons and for special events — the birth
of a baby, combining households, a move, kids going off to college,
successful downsizing. Smallin presents a broad range of innovative
solutions in the running feature “One Challenge, Three Solutions”
that includes tips for solving classic organizational issues from
a wide range of professional organizers.
