  You Can Find More Time For Yourself Everyday" by Stephanie Culp

 A visitor to my website recommends: "The thing that sets this book apart is that Stephanie Culp encourages her readers to set priorities that really count. For example, spending time with your kids is more important that making perfect filing labels. She strikes the right balance between getting organized and having a life. She also give good information about organizng relationships. Too often we get sidetracked by people that seem needy of our time instead of deserving. Read the whole thing-don't skip"

 "Get Your Act Together" - a 7-day Get-organized program for the overbooked, overworked and overwhelmed by Pam Young and Peggy Jones

 Two homemakers who are sisters used to find basic housekeeping a complex concept akin to quantum physics. Chaos (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome) reigned in their homes and lives until they made a vow to reform. They found a way to get their act together. Although this isn't the way I would do it, this is an amusing book you could find very helpful. One of my favorite chapters in entitled "Why you'll never meet a disorganized Amish".

 "365 Ways To Simplify Your Work Life" by Odette Pollar

 This small sized book would take up little room on your desk yet add many simple ideas to enhance your working style. Some examples: (#128 "Be willing to accept a temporary inconvenience if it will result in a permanent improvement.") or (#237 "Purge your files annually. Place a discard date on a document when you file it to make the purging process go faster.")

 "How To Get Organized When You Don't Have The Time" by Stephany Culp

 Though Stephany Culp has written many wonderful books on organizing this is my favorite. Here she really deals with how time is such a part of why we are or are not organized. Then she covers the most common areas of your life that chaos reigns and gives simple strategies to cope.
