We wanted to call this chapter "The Way We Were," but, since that's a famous song, we figured we'd have to get permission from the writer and we didn't know his address or even his name. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Organizationally challenged? This is the book for you!, Dec 17 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: Side Tracked Home Executives (Paperback)

If you suffer from CHAOS (can't have anyone over syndrome) or IGAD (I've got all day), this is the book for you! Pam Young and Peggy Jones tell the story of their search for organization and how they found it with a 3x5 card file system. Written from the viewpoint of a SHE (Sidetracked Home Executive), they blend humor with down to earth advice on getting your life together. They refer to themselves as reformed slobs and make you feel that if they can do, anyone can. Their system is easy to set up and implement--although for a SHE, it's not always easy to follow. But with the encouragement found in this book, it makes the process fun. I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Newbie to the program, but it is working...!, Dec 18 2003

This review is from: Sidetracked Home Executives(TM): From Pigpen to Paradise (Paperback)

I am a smart successful woman, but somehow could never "keep house" like my mom did, and her mom, and of course my sister in law (are sister in law's ALWAYS perfect, or is it just mine??!!)...This book helped me to organize the things that I needed to do on a regular basis in order for my house to look nice, and to be clean...It is funny, but I have been doing it for about two weeks, and I definitely find myself getting into better habits - picking up, wiping down, etc...Definitely not things that the OLD me would have done! Since I started I am happier and more relaxed in my home, and I can entertain friends without a frenzy of cleaning in the 30 minutes before they arrive! I even fired my cleaning lady (who only comes every two weeks, so she had not seen "the new me house")...Anyway, if you crave a system that allows you to do small tasks regularly and prevents MASSIVE cleaning needs that seem overwhelming, this is it! Enjoy!

I have been using the techniques in this book since 1990, and just love it! Definately a worth while read. You won't EVER regret buying this book, and taking the time to put what they say into practice!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I'd expected
I was not very impressed with this book. While the stories told are interesting, I didn't find as much from this book to help me as I'd expected. Read more

I found the system in the book to be very helpful. The system is great. It may not be for everyone though. Read more
