Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Starr, owner of Let's Get Organized, a personal organization business, gives readers the tools to organize each room of their home in this user-friendly guide. Divided into such categories as bedroom, bathroom, storage and utility, the book uses a clean layout with helpful full-color photos and convenient tab dividers. Each section begins with a list of questions (e.g., "Are piles of bills, lists, and mail kept in several locations scattered about the house?") and are answered by a series of solutions (e.g. "Dedicate a work surface"; "the importance of having a comfortable chair cannot be overstated"). Throughout, Starr poses potential problems and tips to solve them, as well as various projects to help create order. In the chapter on bedrooms, for instance, she instructs on "Cleaning Your Drawers": "Empty the contents of your drawers and put everything on the bed. For each item, ask yourself: Does it fit? Will I really wear it again? Is it in style? Is it in good condition?" In all, this is a simple, encouraging guide for reining in the chaos.

Pretty book but does not offer much,

This review is from: The Home Organizing Workbook: Clearing Your Clutter, Step by Step (Spiral-bound)
When you come across the "Home Organizing Workbook" by Meryl Starr you would think what a pretty looking book must be great. But seriouly it's only a nice book, but that all it has going for. There not a lot substance to it. There are not many ideas to the book and it does cost a bit of money. So this is one those book that you want take a close look at before you buy.

"The Home Organizing Workbook" by Meryl Starr is the type of book that is design to catch the reader attention of the shelve. But, once the reader takes a close look at it. The reader begins to realize that while it has some useful information there are better organizing books on the market. If you are interesting reading it, just check it out, and save your money.

This review is from: The Home Organizing Workbook: Clearing Your Clutter, Step by Step (Spiral-bound)
As a grad student who spends a lot of time studying at home, organization is a must. A well organized home not only saves time (how much time do you waste looking for keys or searching for an overdue bill?) but it serves as a calming influence -- and aren't we all looking for one of those? Although I have read books like Julie Morgenstern's "Organizing From the Inside Out" I actually like Meryl Starr's approach better. The book's design and photography are gorgeous -- this is a how-to book you won't be ashamed to have on your coffee table.
