I wrote The Organizing
Sourcebook
because I couldn't find any other book that told the whole story about why
people find themselves living in chaos and disorder.
If you're feeling disorganized, it doesn't mean there's something wrong
with you. On the contrary! It means there's something wrong with your
organizing system. The system is the problem, not you! It just
doesn't fit you and your life.
When piles are growing on all your flat surfaces, it usually means
you've been distracted by something more important than "stuff" -- for
instance, the people and activities you care about. The Organizing Sourcebook
shows that the
events in your life can have a profound effect on your ability to stay
organized.
Because life is always changing, it's important to have a simple,
flexible organizing system that allows you to manage. You need to
get everything done without wasting precious time and energy. And
you need time to relax, too.
That's where the Nine Strategies of Reasonably Organized People
come in. They are basic organizing principles every reader --
naturally organized or not -- can understand. The Organizing Sourcebook describes these principles using
common, funny, real-life examples.
If you follow the Nine Strategies described in
The Organizing Sourcebook, you'll be able to get -- and
stay -- reasonably organized!
