Synopsis
From A ("activity zones") to Z ("zigzag organizing"), Julie Morgenstern provides a guided tour through the jungle of getting organized--and begins by removing the guilt factor: organization, she says, is not an inborn habit but an easily learned skill. She also stresses the idea that each person must use an ordering principle that comes from within--not an impersonal structure imposed from without.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "If I asked you to describe an organized space, what would you say? From most people, I hear things like "neat and tidy," "spare," "minimalistic," and "boring.""
Industry Reviews
As the creator of Task Masters, a full-service organizing company, Morgenstern has helped hundreds of clients overcome their failed attempts at managing their lives. She gives ways to overcome psychological obstacles that prevent us from maintaining an organization system and explains a plan called SPACE (sort, purge, assign a home, containerize, equalize). Covering the workplace and each room of the home, she provides sample time lines of how long the process will take and offers tips on what to toss and what storage products to use. A list of product catalogs is provided, as well as a section on how to organize time. A good book for public libraries.
