Best-selling author of Organizing from the Inside Out, Morgenstern takes a similarly practical approach to time. If one thinks of time has having "edges" (rather than being amorphous), she explains, then it becomes as finite as spaceDand, consequently, just as manageable. Morgenstern believes that there are three primary reasons why people have difficulty managing time: "technical errors" (miscalculating the length of a task); "external realities" (new baby, new job) and "psychological obstacles" (perfectionism). What makes her program work, she attests, is that instead of trying to change people's natural behaviors and preferences, she encourages them to expand upon whatever is working already, no matter how overwhelmed they may feel. It all starts with knowing what one's big picture values and goals are (e.g., maintaining a happy marriage, excelling at one's career) and prioritizing those with the help of an ingenious device she's created called a "Time Map." Then, Morgenstern helps the reader apply her "SPACE" system ("sort, purge, assign a 'home,' containerize and equalize")Dthe nitty-gritty of time managementDto align one's to-do list with the Time Map. Everything one does (from important phone calls to major projects) must have its time and placeDeven relaxation and fun ("There is no such thing as spare time"). Morgenstern's simple book presents a superb, sound program for "creating a life that nurtures you and makes you feel good." (Sept.)

closet or house with limited space – and allocate the activities we value most into the best cubby holes. The ideas and principles here are fantastic and make sense right away. And the most valuable of these is her core message that no time management system will work for long if it doesn't respect the user's personal emotional style and preferred behavior patterns. She promotes flexibility and reasonable dedication to a plan, rather than trying to jam every person into the same perfect but unworkable system. And as for the reading, Morgenstern would be a joy to hear reading anything. T.W. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine |

As someone with life-long organizational problems, due in part to attention deficit disorder, I have read almost every organizational book out there. This is the first book that gave me hope that my life could really be better. Rather than taking the approach that most books take of giving you a list of the same old tips, this book gets to the heart of your organizational problems. It works with each person, helping you organize in a way that best fits your individual personality and needs, and then gives you step-by-step instructions on how to get and stay organized. |

If you are like me, you have had a lifelong battle with poor time management, chronic messiness and clutter taking over your life and home. In January 2001 I decided to do something about it and bought this book as a way to conquer these pesky things which have plagued me for so long. I have really enjoyed the way this book is presented. I've owned it for about a year now, and I still frequently refer to it. It's also good to take a few minutes to go over it when you are feeling overwhelmed, especially if you have a lot of "irons in the fire." I find it's reassuring and gets me into the right frame of mind to do my cleaning up, or whatever I happen to be procrastinating on at the moment.
I have now read this book from cover to cover and it is truly a wealth of information.
This book really is worth your time. But you have to use the methods presented in the book or it won't help. Good luck!
And get organizing!
