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,
nonjudgemental 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.
