Book Description

Sep 14 2009
"Everybody needs a little organizing! No matter what
your learning style, here is a book that nails
the basics and delivers the goods. It's great!"


— PETER WALSH, professional organizer from
TLC's Clean Sweep and New York Times bestselling author

"This book is masterful, delivering the exact organizing
steps you need based on your own learning style.
Bravo, Hellen and Sari, for designing such a book."


— DOROTHY BREININGER, organizing expert, The Doctor Phil Show,
and author, Chicken Soup for the Soul series

You'd like to get organized. You need to get organized. But every time you try, you feel like a square peg in a round hole. Nothing ever seems to work.

The secret — as revealed in this clear, concise, and compelling book — is to organize according to your natural, preferred learning style. Organizing Outside the Box will help you to:
  • Determine whether you are a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner
  • Pick the filing, storage, and organizing systems that fit your learning style
  • Overcome feelings of frustration, anxiety, and overload
  • Organize your thoughts and unleash your creative potential
  • Run a more efficient home and office by understanding the preferred organizing styles of family and co-workers.

I bought this wonderful book in October and am enjoying the experience. I started to cry when I read about my style, because up till now I figured I just was an organizational misfit. Knowing that there is actually a kinesthetic organization style has simplified my life-it makes so much sense to me now!

Being organized is getting easier with each suggestion that I implement. Thank you Hellen for writing such an insightful book that has given me the ability to heal my organizational heartaches.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for All Professional Organizers Feb 5 2010
Format:Paperback
There are a lot of organizing books on the market, but as a professional organizer, you don't need to read about the same strategies over and over again. I've always found that the most valuable books are those that acknowledge that organizing systems need to be tailored to the unique style and personality of your client. Organizing Outside the Box by Hellen Buttigieg is such a book.

There are several reasons that this book deserves a place in your library:

1. It provides tips to help you assess whether your client is a visual, kinesthetic, or auditory learner.

2. It offers strategies for each of the three learning styles, including photos of suggested products.

3. It even includes recommendations for handling those tricky situations when people with different learning styles share space at home or at work!

4. It is a quick and easy read, so you don't have to struggle to find time in your schedule to read it.

I've known Hellen since 2002 and have been her virtual assistant since 2003, so you may think I'm a little bit biased, but you don't have to take my word for it. In case you haven't heard, Organizing Outside the Box: Conquer Clutter Using Your Natural Learning Style won the 2010 Los Angeles Organizing Award for Best Organizing Book, so I am definitely in good company!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Resource to Understanding and Freedom Nov 24 2009
Format:Paperback
Hellen has done it again ' her newest book, "Organizing Outside of the Box: Conquer Clutter Using Your Natural Learning Style", is an amazing "kick-in-the-butt" reference guide. She is a no-nonsense woman and the way she approaches gearing your journey to peace and organization based on truly understanding yourself, your colleagues and family speaks of deep understanding and experience. I have to laugh as I think back to her TV show "Neat" and how she in her non-judgmental approach, takes the bull by the horn; her book reflects that mentality ' deep down you know that chaos and disorder are thieves, as she spells it out. She understands that there is an emotional/psychological and sometimes even a socialogical attachment to "things" and she helps, through her book, to frame that understanding. Once you know how you learn (yeah, I had the conviction bubble light up over my head) you understand why you do certain things or have certain habits. Fine tuning what actually works for you in your home or office brings a sort of enlightenment. When she describes working with a team/office environment, it makes sense that certain people are naturally more comfortable with doing things a certain way ' it is not my way of the highway, but, let's find the best way.

This is a great book and I think I read it as soon as I received it. Will be a handy resource for understanding my staff, colleagues, clients, and yes myself too
