Editorial Reviews

Deborah Bigelow, Library Journal
From professional organizer and author Leeds (The Zen of Organizing) comes the perfect book for anyone wanting to find important papers instantly or have a navigable closet. The author divides getting organized into 12 monthly sections with four weekly tasks. The first week of every month is devoted to journaling and understanding the psychology of disorganization. The remaining three weeks of every month are for tasks like creating a bedroom sanctuary, packing wisely for trips, and creating a festive holiday atmosphere. Full of useful information for everyone, from the person who needs simply to clean a messy desk to the person requiring a whole new approach to life; highly recommended for all libraries.

Customer Reviews

It's a great book, but...3
This author really knows her stuff. As a long-time sufferer of adult ADD, I am always interested in tools to keep my household organized, not to mention my life. The monthly projects are great, not too overwhelming. The only problem is...I read the book 3 months ago and it is still on my nightstand because I like the way it looks there!

Love This Book5
This book has great ideas. It gives good examples of how to organize certain spaces. You don't have to start organizing on January 1st. You can jump in any day of the year. It's a nice motivating tool.

not finished, but loving it so far!4
This is the first book by Regina Leeds for me.
So far, so good!
At first I was worried that I bought it in May and not in January - "oh no!! I'm already behind!!"
But after reading the forward (and you must) my fears were put to rest. You don't have to DO the month IN the month.
What has worked for me so far is this: I did January first because it deals with alot of why, etc. Now I've moved on to managing paper.
I enjoy hearing the personal side from the author. I, too, have a golden retriever. Enough said!
I even emailed her with a question, never expecting a personal or quick response. I got both the former and the latter!!
I say: Enjoy the ride, it is definitely worth the price of admission!
