Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In the natural follow-up to her bestselling "Zen organizing" primer One Year to an Organized Life, Leeds presents a comprehensive guide to office efficiency. Like its predecessor, this volume is a kind of self-help boot camp, complete with month-by-month and week-by-week guides, with themes ("January: Start Fresh," "March: Stop Paper Pileups"), habits ("Make your bed," "Be grateful," "Say no") and clearly-defined weekly exercises, including tips for dealing with everyday tasks like checking email and booking business travel. Leeds also makes them most of a helpful (if familiar) three-step "Magic Formula" for approaching clutter of any kind: "1. Eliminate 2. Categorize 3. Organize." Some readers may balk at her low-tech solutions: her section on calendar-keeping focuses almost exclusively on the pen-and-paper variety, and she suggests a highly detailed filing system for paper. Still, highly motivated readers should find plenty of smart, straightforward and rewarding ways to eliminate chaos from their work lives.

Customer Reviews
Great help for a busy executive!
I am a big fan of Regina Leeds and her ideas on "Zen Organzing" which are effective whether used at home or at work. What I love about this book is it is just like having Regina there at the office with me, my own coach and cheerleader, teaching and reminding me of the good habits that lead to greater success and much less stress. This is not a quick fix and forget it book - this is one year of manageable changes which combined have the power to change your life.
Great Guide and Wisdom!
If you've ever wanted a guide book with a wise methodical approach, this is it. Regina takes us on a journey to organizational success. It is paced so that everyone can do it. She has put the work in and laid it all out there for you. Just open it up and begin. The wisdom and peaceful guide through the pages will inspire you to take on organization. The spirit in which it is written to assist us all is beautiful.
An Organized Work Life
This is a great book. As Director of a a busy physical therapy practice, I find that that is easy to become distracted and overwhelmed with paper. This book provides the insights and the tools of organization to overcome office stress. I highly recommend this book.
