The first part of the book was spot on with a great system to put in place that could start someone on the road to intentional action and success in organization.
The second half of the book contained many stories that seemed a bit out of context and unnecessary and wordy to my preferences.
The book is very outdated having being written over 30 years ago but it was fun to see how different things were back then.
I don’t really like the way it encourages the use of disposable dishes as opposed to using dishes that can be washed and reused, especially now that plastics dominate our world and are an environmental landfill nightmare.
Some good tips in here though mostly it's stuff I've read elsewhere already. But it has motivated me a bit to get rid of even more stuff. Sometimes you just need that extra little push.
Read this years ago, and to me, it was the predecessor to Getting Things Done. Following her advice I was able to clear my head of everything I was trying to remember (David Allen's "mind like water") and created the ultimate to-do list. Her principles have always stayed with me as I've pursued the holy grail of being perfectly organized. It is a must-have for organization bookshelves.
The first two-thirds of this book are GREAT for life planning, determining a mission in life, setting down goals and getting practical advice on how to go about it all. The last 1/3 is unnecessary.
