Quick & Easy

A quick and easy read full of valuable snippets of family organizing information. I've read a lot of organizing and family help books, and none of them have had as much info as this little manual that fits in your purse. There are sections on every aspect of family organizing and happier living, including special sections worked in for how to get your family (and kids) to cooperate, and taking a little time for yourself every day to recharge your motivation. The only other book I have found to be as helpful or fun to read has been Amy Dacyczyn's Complete Tightwad Gazette. My copy even arrived bookmarked at the procrastination section, the part I needed most! I read it in two days in my spare time, and if you know how hectic and lacking in time a cluttered home can be, that's really saying something! I simply couldn't put it down. This is one of the few books that will live in my family's personal library forever.
