This is a pretty tiny book. At least you will not waste too much time reading it. It actually is full of I-could-have-thought-about-it-myself advice that are worth reading even if you think that you are already pretty smart about organizing your home and your family.
The 15 minutes thing is the greatest advice ! Even my mother (can't find anyone more organized than her !) never gave it to me ! I gave it to her !

When I first read this book, I thought it was kind of like a souped up version of what you can find in virtually every "how to get organized" article in any woman's magazine. But, it has some redeeming qualities - especially if you are totally disorganized and don't know where to start. It will walk you through a process pretty much step by step. I think it would make a nice shower gift or something for a young adult starting out on their own because they can start out with the methods discussed in the book right from the get-go.
Easy to read, Easy to use, Easy to keep with you to read April 16, 2000
First I must say that this book is geared toward women, not saying men could not find very valuable information and tips here - because they can. Again, this book is easy to read, you don't have to read the whole thing at once you can read a little at a time and feel like you are getting something accomplished. For example: There is a chapter on your pocketbook which is only 4 pages long but gives very helpful and informative tips you can work on right away.(And this book is small enough to keep in your average sized pocketbook.) I found the book to be very informative in an upbeat fashion.There are just so many neat areas from a file card system for chores, divided daily, weekly, monthly and so on. You could tailor it very easily to work in your own time frames. I had heard about a file card system on the internet but didn't totally understand it, in a few pages I finally get it. There are suggestions for list or sheets from shopping guides and important numbers sheets you could easily type up on your computer, save on a file and print as needed. The ideas are simple and you might have heard a few of them before - but for some reason this book gives me the confidence to try and start in at least one area. I think the size of the book could be part of the reason, it's doable. I've bought some other books that are great with lots of great information, but they are large and I don't always have the time to read it and then get moving. I can read 3-4 pages while I'm waiting for my kids somewhere and feel that I might actually accomplish that goal that day, and if it's a bigger project, maybe that week. I can carry this book with me and refer back to it. From kids, to cooking to cleaning and organizing this book touches on so many areas with so many workable solutions. I am very glad I bought it - it is definitely worth the price - very affordable - to me.
She has so many ideas to help us get organized. February 24, 1998

After reading this book, I was so excited to put to use all the ideas that she has reguarding organization. Her ideas are so easy, and everyone has all the room they need. We just need to get a handle on things. After all we control the STUFF in our lives. What I found out was that I allowing the STUFF in our home to control me. So, I was always stressed, and nothing seemed to go right. But, after reading this book, and putting to use all of her ideas, I am now in control . I highly recommend this book. It makes a WONDERFUL GIFT also.
