User Comments about the Organizing from the Inside Out, second edition: The Foolproof System For Organizing Your Home, Your Office and Your Life

This is a very helpful book, as it shows us how to develop your own organizational techniques, not to apply somebody else's. I borrowed it from the library, and then decided that I needed a copy on hand.



I've been trying to get organized for a while and this book has helped me more than others. Now I know what I've been doing wrong and how to correct it in the future. It really focuses on the planning before diving in to attack. That was the part I have been skipping.



Recognizing these patterns and the psychology behind them is worth the read even if it makes the reader squirm a bit. Organizing From the Inside Out not only teaches the reader how to get organized but helps the reader identify the reasons for his/her lack of organization. Morgenstern also demonstrates how organizing can help increase productivity, reduce stress, and help one feel better about one's self. Organizing From the Inside Out is a valuable resource for anyone wishing to get or stay organized. Organizing From the Inside Out says the key to staying organized is to recognize the behavior patterns that lead to disorganization and the psychological reasons for staying unorganized.



I bought this hoping to help find out why my organizing fizzles. I still have to finish the book and I think it may help me figure out how to move beyond the initial steps of organizing. So far it has provided the much needed insight into why, now I just need to get to the how to overcome & move forward. This is helping me find out why I am always frustrated with trying to organize and turning around to an even bigger mess.



This book addressed issues that I have alway had with organizing. And that it's not done in a day. I thought organized meant neat clean and out of sight and putting things in a "logical" spot according to world standards. I was pleased to find that organized is being able to find what you want or need when you want or need it.
