Effective and more helpful then I imagined.

I love them! We bought these specifically for our Christmas tree, but we have easily found use for all five. Having two remotes is more helpful then I thought it would be. We keep one in the garage so we can turn on our Christmas tree on before we even come into the house and the other on our night stand. These are more effective and useful then I expected them to be. One of the better purchases I've made. The range is good (we have a small home and it reaches all of the rooms easily). Worth the price for us!

Maybe I had too much skepticism, but this really worked great.  The door slides down nicely now and is not harder to close.  My one criticism is that the instuctions list the tools you need up front, and then calls for several more tools not listed in up front.

For most of my life, I have known that I don't quite organize my things or thoughts etcetera like most people and all of the "Get your life organized" or traditional methods detailed in organizational books never seemed to help me.
Then, perhaps a year ago, I picked up this book and what a transformation.  Even the structure of the book is to capitalize on the attention span of those with ADD as each chapter is broken up into short pieces to make its point and then move on to the next one.
Like anyone with ADD, I find that while doing some of the work on my own has been helpful, I definitely need to follow up with some of the "other support people" that the book describes.  I might carry through one day or even for a string of days, but can quickly slip back into old, inefficient patterns (that often have been habit forming over a lifetime of being disorganized).
I find that this book is very positive and makes you feel like having ADD can be a strength rather than a weakness.
I hope you find it helpful.

While this book is not what I expected it to be (I was expecting tips to get me motivated to stop procrastinating), the idea of purging your surroundings of clutter is a great way to stop procrastinating. I know personally when I am surrounded by too much clutter, I cannot focus on the one thing I should be doing at that time and will find excuses to not do anything. De-cluttering, and the ways to de-clutter talked about in this book, are excellent tips to help with procrastination. I will definitely be utilizing the examples in this book to help me de-clutter and stop procrastinating.

I promise you, this gadget really helps. By the way, it's surprisingly lightweight which is an added plus.

After reading the sample, I decided the Talbots could at least help me regain the motivation and momentum to reclaim my space. I was a bit skeptical at first that a couple who had no children and had gotten rid of nearly everything they owned would really be able to offer advice I could apply to my own life. After all, I have no intentions to move and my toddler's things have been overwhelming my home.

By the end of the first chapter, I was hooked.  I was wonderfully surprised that they had innovative ideas that I could directly use (My mustard had expired!) and they were easy to translate into ways to deal with kids' toys, books, and clothing. I added only two steps: I'm taking the portable scanner (a DoxieGo) with me as I go through drawers and closets, and I added a "donate" bin next to the recycle bins. As I come upon one thing here or there I've been meaning to get rid of, I drop it in there, and swing by Goodwill on the way back from the recycling center.

Their five methods to get and stay decluttered immediately appealed to my need to get rid of "stuff" and generalizes perfectly to my more desperate need to pare down the clutter in my head - my work and family responsibilities, my home improvement projects, and the other constant drains on my time and energy. Thank you Betsy and Warren!

I enjoyed reading this book and it inspired me to get rid of some of my excess things. I adopted the Kon-mari way of folding my T-shirts, and it enabled me to fit at least 50% more of them into the drawer while making all of them visible. Some of the other advice was not as helpful to me, such as emptying out my purse every night. Overall, the book is very prescriptive and will be just the thing for some people. For me, I found a few things that worked for me and others that did not.

Was on the verge of tossing my (cheap) ironing board and purchasing a new one. The Babantia pad has transformed it into a more than serviceable tool, even for someone who tends to be overly meticulous about these things.

I picked up this book without really thinking it would do or say much to me, but suprisingly it is very encouraging and helpful. She does know how overweight or  people who think they cant do, really think.

This isn't just a game. It's amazing, and super helpful. I've learned more in a couple of weeks than I had in years of trying to teach myself.

at the beginning i thought that it was a waste of money but it really works especially if you don't  know how to do it .

It has made a difference for me. I have applied a few techniques and have been better off for it. I bought it looking not for a total miracle but for a few tips to help me. This book delivers!

Getting organized overwhelms me but this book makes it actually seem possible.  Each day focuses on a different area of the home, and the assignments seem both practical and doable.  I haven't started yet but I am excited to try!

More useful than I thought it would be.  Especially like the humidity sensor, let's me know when I may need to circulate the A/C to get the humidity down.

I found this multipurpose tool to be even more useful than I thought it would be.  I'm in transition, moving from place to another and all my kitchen tools are in storage.  I bought this on a whim and found it replaces four things I would've had to buy. Great stuff!

I was skeptical when I picked this book up, but after trying just about everything, thought I would give it a try.  I am so glad I did!  I am on my 6th day, and have already lost 4.4 pounds.  For the first two or three days, I thought I might pull my hair out, but now I feel great.  I have also noticed a huge difference in my skin, it seems to be glowing! The cabage soup was surprisingly good, and I've become addicted to chick peas on salads.  I think it's great that so much of the book is dedicated to helping people change their mind set.  I've been able to set realistic goals, and broken them down over a course of months.  My first goal was to lose 10 pounds in 5 weeks, and I am already almost halfway there.  Don't forget to drink plenty of water in the first few days, it really helps.
