Summary: Making My Space
Review: I like the author's use of humor as well as the included lists for organization. It is possible to organize one area at a time. I have read Alexandria Stoddard in the past and like how this author incorporates her ideas especially for the Decompression Chamber. I live in a one room apartment so I can develop my own Cozy Corner.
This book is more an advanced course in organization than other books I have used in the past. This previous knowledge is often assumed. The book also has another problem common to books on organization. Many of us rent and for that reason cannot add built-ins to where we live.

Summary: It made my wife very happy.
Review: I purchased this book as a gift for my wife. She is a fairly well organized person but she said that she needed to be better about certain tasks. So anyway, I gave it to her and she said it was perfect. The fact that she was able to read and zoom in on the relevant chapters to her pleased her to no end. I highly recommend this book. It is a great gift idea.

Summary: Finally, a book that really works!
Review: My excuse for being disorganized is that I'm genetically predisposed to be a pack-rat, and besides, I don't have the time to get organized. I've tried so many 'get organized' books in my life, but mostly, I just ended up losing them in the piles of stuff I was trying to organize in the first place. This book is written so that you are learning, being entertained, and getting really motivated all at the same time. One of the best things about this book is that it includes more than just advice to help you get your life in order - it gets down to the nitty-gritty. For example, in the chapter on organizing your car, there are lists (YES, I love lists) and forms to keep track of everything related to your car: your auto data, maintenance and service records, etc. The other really terrific thing in this book, that I've not seen in other 'get organized' books, is a fantastic chapter on food, groceries, and meal planning. The menus include meals that you can USE, don't take much time, the kids will eat, and they all come with the grocery lists needed to prepare them - all the work is done for you already. What a Godsend! I bought three more copies of this book for my friends who are equally disorganized and frantically busy (we're all working and in graduate school), and they haven't stopped thanking me yet. Get this book, and you'll be thanking me too.

Summary: AZURE Your Way to an Organized, Comfortable Home
Review: Written in a conversational style, Dr. Bishop guides us through a delightful process of decluttering and organizing our home environments--to Assess, Zone, Unload, Rearrange & Enjoy. Chapters address creating organized rooms and work and storage spaces throughout the home. This comprehensive manual is especially valuable for the numerous checklists for project planning and for documenting important family and household information. Also includes extensive, useful Resources, Apprendix, and Bibliography sections.If reading from beginning-to-end is not your style, start by learning Dr. Bishop's philosophy of AZURE-ing (p.340-41) and move to Chapter 4 to create your own Personal Decompression Chamber. Then, in your personal care retreat, read the remaining chapters that will guide you in the process of organizing your other home environments, and simplifying your life to enjoy it more!
