Book Review: Organizing Your Home Office
May 23rd, 2008
“Asking for help does not mean that we are weak or incompetent. It usually indicates an advanced level of honesty and intelligence”.—Anne Wilson Schaef By this definition I must be very honest and very intelligence as I am constantly asking for help.
Do you need to reclaim your office space? Help has come in the form of an eBook written by my friend Adriane Benefit of Neat and Simple. She wrote this book to help people achieve a LASTING change by using a cognitive-behavioral approach to getting organized.
She has a ton of advice and practical solutions for organizing offices. She has several different systems depending on your organizational style. The entire book is a treasure of organizing ideas; here are a few of the gems:
•Different organizational styles are explained in depth.
•A Self-check list: How do you know when you have too much clutter?
•Explaining the payoffs of clearing clutter, it’s not magic…it’s energy.
•She explains how to let go of clutter and creating spaces you love.
•There are plans to make clearing clutter more fun. (How awesome is that)?
•There are pages of references: how to get rid of the things you want to sell or donate; how and where to recycle computers & electronics; how to protect your passwords and how to set up a productive and efficient work space.
She has left out nothing; this is a comprehensive hands on guide to organizing an office. This book is for everyone.
