Organization is a difficult concept for some people which explains why there are so many books and tools meant to aid you in that subject. In that vein, Sheree Bykofsky has collected 500 Terrific Ideas For Organizing Everything. The book is a bit old, being from 1992, so it references some ancient technologies and ideas. Take Rolodex for instance. Some people don’t even know what that thing is. I do, but I am in a weird generational gap between a millennial and a Gen-Xer.

The book is like a shotgun of ideas. Some of them hit their target, and others do not. Maybe all of these ideas are useful or were useful at one time, given that the book is like that, most people will glean something useful from this book. It is possible that I am incorrect. I mean, this book talks about buying or renting a Beeper. Remember those things? I do, but I never used one.

The book is organized by subject alphabetically. The book asks a question in the blurb that goes like this: Do all your socks match? Yes, but only because I can tell which ones are which. Do you remember your Nephew’s Birthday? Yes, both of their birthdays. Can you find last year’s tax returns? Yeah, since I have them in a place where I can find them. So if that is stuff you have trouble finding or doing, then this book is for you. I can’t really say I recommend this book otherwise.

There were some good ideas in this book and I learned a few tricks to try.

ترجمة الكتاب نشرت عام ١٩٩٦. فأنت تقرأ كيف كان الناس قبل مايقرب من عشرين عام يقومون بتنظيم أمورهم وحياتهم، تقنيات قديمة لم تعد موجودة الآن لكن لابأس مفيدة بكل الأحوال

Ideias úteis embora muitas, devido ao aparecimento dos smartphones, estejam desactualizadas (ninguém usará hoje diários ou filofaxes, ou muito poucos). Mas há aqui ideias que servem sempre.

First of all, I had a first edition copy of this book, published in 1992 and, well, let’s just say it is very dated. It’s like that Huffpost article “Everything From This 1991 Radio Shack Ad You Can Now Do With Your Phone”. Some tips tell you how to properly use your timer on your VCR. Another tells you to carry a kitchen timer with you if you deal with parking meters frequently. Several talk about how to use a Rolodex. Others discuss how to properly utilize a answering machine to screen your phone calls. And of course, bring a book if you have to wait in line.

But with that being said, although there were some legitimate timeless tips, some seemed to invite clutter. One tip, to pick up a card out of season and then send it out when the time came, seemed to be the kind of thing a hoarder does to accumulate more junk in their house.

Outdated. I skimmed through it because I already knew the ideas.
