Description

In this it’s all about me age, Eisenberg and Kelly (creators of Organize Yourself! 2005) have triggered the universal hot button: how to find more personal time for you, your circle of loved ones, and your interests and passions. No area of life is held sacred here; the organizers poke into work, home, family, and vacation routines with advice that often sounds suspiciously like business solutions. Outsourcing, for one; throughout almost every chapter, they advise hiring professionals for whatever looms large—and might consume valuable time, from teaching kids how to drive to retaining household help. Common sense rules; the theme of consolidation, for instance, appears within to-do lists, master address lists, universal remotes, even labeling. Some of their organizational wisdom is original: clear clutter quickly by working the room as if it were a clock’s face; begin subdividing files when one grows to three-fourths of an inch thick; and invite one birthday-party guest for every year of your child’s life (plus one). Presented are five different sidebars (quick starts, sanity savers, time savers, time boosters, mini vacations), all providing useful hints.
