It carries the same title. It was great to see Julie Morgenstern's presentation done on PBS. She included some before and after photos and altogether it was highly motivating. She has a very positive approach and her steps are easy to follow. I think I will purchase the book now to have a reference and go back to it when I need to. I just came back from a two day training session on a related topic, but nothing in that session grabbed my attention as much as Julie's approach to organizing. Well worth it - see her on video and/or read her book if you can. Just today I saw the video available at my local Public Library. It carries the same title.

Organization has been a working progress for me. Having a poor attention span doesn't help either. I love containers-tins, totes, baskets, boxes, etc. When I find a cheap, useful container I pick it up. It will always have a use. I think it's important, too, that everything have a place. I try to put things away when I'm done with them but, if I don't, I will take a few min. @ the end of the day to pick up. It's nice to wake up to a clean house. I believe one's environment has a direct effect on how they feel, think, and how productive they are. Some times I'll stuff all kinds of crap in the closet, giving me a false sense of order. The funny thing is-I can get everything clean and organized, turn around, and I'm back to square one. Same here. Organization has been a working progress for me.

I was hopelessly disorganized until I read these two, and now I am very organized. A must read, in my opinion. This book and Flylady.net both totally transformed my life.
