What's A Disorganized Person To Do? (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Imagine an avid Pinterest user's "Organize" board put into book form, and this is it. It's a collection of tips and techniques for organizing your home, room by room. As other reviewers have said, it's not all that original. If you're already a very organized person, or a collector of these types of books, you won't find it very helpful. But as a natural piler with disorganized tendencies, I found it to be very helpful. Although, it could be an advertisement for The Container Store. But I think it comes down to knowing yourself and what you will keep up with. I don't think every closet, shelf, bin, tray, divider, rack, or peg board is necessary for every person, and I do not believe that you have to spend a lot of money on those things in order to be organized. Take Platt's example of the fork...forks go with forks. They have a place, you know where they go. After a fork has been used and washed and dried you put it back with the other forks. It doesn't have to be an expensive system in a fancy drawer. While not every tip is appropriate or useful for me, as I read from cover to cover I often found myself thinking, "That's a good idea." This is a great little book with ideas for organizing any thing and any space in your home. A lot of it isn't new, but it definitely did have some good tips I'd never considered before. It's organized by rooms in the house and has photographs demonstrating almost each principle. The only thing it didn't take into consideration is homes that might not have as much storage space as this book assumes. When we moved in to our new house over 2 years ago, we unpacked all our boxes quickly just throwing things in closets and cabinets, so now it's finally time to get everything organized in more logical places! I'll definitely be checking out this book from the library again to refer to as I do my organizing!
