Product Description

Book Description

Disorganization contributes significantly to stress, and leaves us feeling that instead of time for the important and fun things in life, there is just a never-ending pile of stuff. As an experienced housecleaner, organizer, and psychologist, Kathleen Kendall-Tackett has observed first-hand the therapeutic benefits of an organized home. She has witnessed a transformation in her clients' ability to manage time and stress once they learn simple techniques for creating a sense of order and serenity in their homes, and has distilled this knowledge into The Well-Ordered Home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eating the Elephant, Jun 19 2003

This review is from: The Well-Ordered Home: Simple Techniques for Creating Serene and Inviting Space (Paperback)
This book has become a permanent fixture at the breakfast spot on my kitchen table. It could easily be titled "How to Eat an Elephant." Every few days, I open to a different page and find out how to make my life sane. The author has done a great job of helping me approach very difficult household tasks and become good at them. This is after all another skill those of us who are not obsessively compulsive need to learn in order to survive life on the edge! So far her ideas have gone down better and have saved me real time and real money by not having to re-buy what I know I have already bought but can't couldn't find if you had a gun to my head! Her writing style is crisp and light and she approaches the negative emotion of why these tasks are so distasteful. As you read you feel she is right there at your kitchen table to help you through the tough spots. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars I Can Do That!, Mar 22 2004
By 
This review is from: The Well-Ordered Home: Simple Techniques for Creating Serene and Inviting Space (Paperback)
I found Kathy Kendall-Tackett's book, The Well-Ordered Home an extremely helpful,easy-read book. I don't have hours of spare time to read lengthy diatribes that I can't remember five minutes after putting the book down. I prefer the two-pages-a-read kind of book, with common sense advice that I can apply the minute I stop reading, even at the midnight hour. This book is that kind of helpful tool. It's so much easier to follow someone who has been there and blazed the trail. Kathy leads me by the hand and gives me practical ways to get the job done in sprints as well as long distance runs. She anticipates my excuses for not tackling a job and addresses them before I whine them forth. As I finished each chapter, I said, "I can do that!" And I did . . . well, except for the garment groomer and lint roller. Think I can get it at Walmart? Thanks, Kathy!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful read, Mar 22 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Well-Ordered Home: Simple Techniques for Creating Serene and Inviting Space (Paperback)
A delighful new approach to home organization. Very focused on 50 specific areas that can be applied to many other situations. Great for the reader short on time but needing both motivation and an understanding of practical methods of organization for the busy family. Written in a positive and crisp manner...
