I loved the organization of this book. It's like you are the CEO and are really organizing a new business from the scratch. The author uses a structured approach of applying strategic planning that makes a complex  subject like this extremely simple to understand.

I think I have almost every book written on getting organized.  I kept searching for something to help make me feel like life was worth it.  I am handicapped and in a great deal of pain each day.  And my house and my life were in disarray.  I had tried other methods of getting things done and keeping things organized, but yet still felt that I wasn't hitting the mark with my life.  I found the Change Your Life Challenge in 2005 and bought Brook Noel's first book.  It helped me to make some changes that made me feel better about living.  I couldn't wait for her new book to come out since she based it on the Make Today Matter system that she came up with... I like that "Make Today Matter" ... I think that's what I was missing in my life.  Brook takes you thru 15 basic steps in this book going from looking and rating how your life is at this point in time and where you would like it to be.  She introduces the CAN which is the best thing for keeping life straight!  She ends up the 15 days with her Nightly Reflection which helps wrap up your day and prepare you for the next day.  In the second part of the book she has unique ways of talking about chaos and clutter, taking care of you, money matters, family matters, friend, living with a purpose, health issues and housekeeping.  Each is broken down into steps making her whole Change Your Life Challenge much easier than trying to do it all at once.  She has worksheet that can help you and she has a website that she lists in the book.  On the website she has a sprint room which is a great motivator in getting things done! I would highly recommend this book to anyone... anyone that wants to make their day matter and is ready for the challenge of changing their life to do so!

This is a book that I have referred to over and over again to get myself organized and stay organized.  Emile Barnes uses a no nonsense approach to get you organized.  Her common sense system of using a timer and giving yourself 15 minutes to stay focused on your area of attack is great.  I am a working mom with two toddlers.  I read this book originally when I got married 7 years ago.  I read it at least once a year to reinspire myself and as a constant reference to stay motivated with a busy schedule to get organized.

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.

This organizer helps a mother keep track of both her professional and family commitments in a way that is practical and entertaining at the same time.  I bought one for myself and my daughter, who is thrilled with the order it brings to her chaotic life.

This book is primarily about organizing your home and also deals a little with time management. It is divided into the following sections:

GETTING STARTED
- Live your life in chapters: the author encourages you to define your organization by your chapter in life, being willing to end previous chapters
- Set organizing goals: unfortunately, the worksheet approach isn't terribly useful on a Kindle. The author also trots out two overly-long, sometimes-arbitrary "mnemonic" acronyms as she creates steps for every letter in the words REORGANIZE and SIMPLIFY
- Establish and evaluate organizing systems - The Three Ps: People, Process, Products
- Finding time and staying motivated: chapters like this one are the strongest parts of the book, breaking down typical difficulties and providing practical ideas for overcoming them

REORGANIZE YOUR SURROUNDINGS
- Evaluate your home and establish your objectives: a room-by-room analysis
- Deciding what to keep and what to remove: this chapter reminded me of the TV show "Clean Sweep"
- Reorganizing what's left: general theory and room-by-room ideas

MANAGE YOUR TIME
- Organize your time during your transition: tips for overplanning for a time in order to create new habits
- After the event - What does your new schedule look like? : ideas for creating and managing goals

STAYING ORGANIZED
- Create systems that support you: some final practical tips

APPENDIX: more worksheets, a reading list, a handy chart on how long to keep documents, websites to visit, and an index

Overall the author's tone is friendly and helpful, and if your goal is organizing your home this would be a good starting point. If you're more interested in general life organization with greater emphasis on your life outside the home, I would also recommend&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Getting-Things-Done-The-Art-of-Stress-Free-Productivity/dp/B000WH7PKY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity</a>.

I am always looking for tips and tricks to make my myself more productive. Lifehacker considers these ticks to be "hacks" and they provide plenty of them. Most of them are technology related, but a few relate to general motivation and organization. Considering that I have a PC, Xoom, and a Smart Phone, most of these tips apply to me. As a pretty advanced computer and Internet user, I found that I already knew a lot of it (such as keyword shortcuts), but I did learn a few new things which made the book worthwhile to me.

Lifehacker is basically a book about simplifying, automating, streamlining, and organizing, to save you time and hassle when working with technology. For example, the book mentions common keyboard shortcuts, such as "Ctrl-C" for copying, and "Ctrl-V" for pasting. Also, "Ctrl-B" functions like the "bold" button, and "Ctrl-U" for the "underline" button. I already knew about these, and use them a lot, and they save me lots of time and hassle. Some of the tips I wasn't aware of include the software "texter" a Windows application hosted on the lifehacker website that allows you to type an abbreviation, and it will replace it with the whole phrase. So if you say "I love you" a lot in your emails or documents, you can type "ilu" and it will always replace it with the full text every time. Another tool mentioned in the book is to keep your inbox clear. They suggest immediately prioritizing incoming email. If it must be done immediately, then it goes into a priority folder; otherwise you send it to the other appropriate folder. This has been very helpful, since before I would often have hundreds of unread emails sitting in my inbox. I was very impressed that I could learn something from this book, since I am pretty familiar with technological tips and tricks. With 121 "hacks" this book is useful for most people.

The only criticism I can think of is that the book will be more useful to newbies and less useful to people like me. I did learn quite a few new things, and I was honestly not interested in some of it (I am not interested in hosting a website using my computer as a server for security reasons). Since each "hack" is ranked according to "level," "platform," and "cost" it is pretty easy to figure out if a hack is appropriate for you. I give it five stars because it does what it claims to do, and it is really entertaining too. I highly recommend this if you want to better use your time, streamline your technology use.

I got this book to try to organize my house and life. With 9 kids we have a lot of 'stuff'. This is an easy read. Very logical and easy to follow. It gave me the inspiration I needed to get my house in order. It's not messy but we have a lot of clutter upstairs with mostly storage of things, do we really need? I mean I save everything! So glad I have purchased this book!

I heard of Jill Duffy from her column Get Organized series at PCMag. I really liked that Get Organized the book helps the reader set the right approach to organizing their life, and then helps you with practical advice to implement the ideas. It's really about changing your mindset, and having the tools to carry that through. The book is easy to read, in part because it is well written in a non-tech voice and also because parts of it are just funny. It is all things that we can do in our daily life to be more efficient, less stressed and more happy - without any extra gadgets.

This is a great little organizer that helps you keep everything in one place. It is broken down by rooms so you can organize warranties, manuals, receipts, handyman numbers, furniture, even paint colors by each room. If you ever sell your house, this would be a great thing to provide the new owners. I highly recommend it.

First, I must admit: I love filing systems and organizational products. When I saw this item, I knew I had to have it! I am at the stage of life where I want all my "Life Documents" organized, easily accessible, and portable (in case of a hurricane evacuation).The  "Wheel of Organization" graphic double page spread provides instruction in using the filing system: Personal, Ownership, Health, Communication and Wishes, Contact Info, and Financials. Different colored Pendaflex folders are included for these major categories, as well as the plastic tabs. Within each category, there are manila folders (included) with pre-printed stick-on tabs (included) color-coded to the above major categories (i.e. bills, life insurance, military service records, etc.) . There is an assembly video available on-line. And this company, SMEAD, is "Women Owned". What a complete and unique organizational system!
