Summary: Simple Solutions for My Chronic Disorganization
Comment: I highly recommend this book for people who are chronically "messy" homemakers. I have to admit that the book did discuss too much of the "whys" of messiness, but if you can get past the first part of the book, you will be surprised that the second half of the book provides just as much of the "hows". I have read quite a few de-cluttering and organizational books, which have been very helpful, but this one has helped in a way that none of the others have been able to. I have been struggling with a messy house for the last 13 years, and after 3 months, my home is organized! I've tried lists and time schedules and they just don't work for me. However, the "flipper" idea in the book works like a charm! It helped me from getting overwhelmed by distributing small jobs over a period of a month. Cooking and grocery lists are much simpler now also. If you are sick of having a home that you are embarrassed to show your guests, read this book!

Summary: Too much talk, not enough "how to"
Comment: I felt that this book spent too much time talking about "why" someone is a Messie. If you're looking for in-depth analysis of why you might have issues with housework, this is the book for you. If you're looking for some fast ideas on how to keep the house tidy, there's better books out there (such as "Sink Reflections" or "Confessions of an Organized Homemaker"). Some of the ideas in this book sound great, but honestly - if a person is finding it hard to tackle the housework, are they going to tackle making a complicated file system for reminding them to do the housework? Probably not. This book could be an addition to housekeeping books but I wouldn't recommend it as the main one.

Summary: Too Much Talk
Comment: I was really motivated to change my housekeeping habits when I bought this book, but by the time I got to chapter 12 where they actually teach you some techniques I lost interest.
I agree with a previous reviewer that there is too much "why" and not enough "how". It analyzes too much about what makes us messies tick, and only about half the book gets into strategies for changing your habits. I think that if you are buying this book you already KNOW you have issues, just get to the point already!
