The Get Yourself Organized Project: 21 Steps to Less Mess and Stress
by
Kathi Lipp (Goodreads Author)
Finally, an organizational book for women who have given up trying to be Martha Stewart but still desire some semblance of order in their lives.
Most organizational books are written by and for people who are naturally structured and orderly. For the woman who is more ADD than type A, the advice sounds terrific but seldom works. These women are looking for help that takes i...more

This is a fantastic book written with people like me in mind (you know, people who would like to be organized but don't think a little mess is the end of the world because there are things more important in life). Kathi Lipp has a no-nonsense writing style: funny, to the point, very sincere and candid. She does not pretend to be an expert, a Martha Stewart type. She just knows what the daily life of the average family looks like and gives us pointers on how to make it less messy based on her own...more
Finally, a book about people who don't necessarily love to organize, but want to for the sake of their sanity. This is the first time I read a book where good enough is exactly the goal. I appreciated the good tips like "Wait for the path to appear" meaning plan the organizational setup around the behavior of the people. There are lots more tips in this book that really focuses on just getting the job done and not having to go the Martha Stewart route. I also like the fact that it's short and to...more
Kathi’s newest book is a great help if you want to have uncluttered space and a simplified life. She writes from the perspective of one who is not a naturally organized person, but who has found a simple approach and practical steps to make things work for her. I would recommend this to women’s groups to use along with a Bible study or prayer group as a way to encourage each other and hold each other accountable.

Loving this book so far! There is hope for my cluttered home yet!
This is my kind of organizational book. She is realistic and takes things in small chunks. Rather than organizing to her expectations, she guides you to actually think about how you live in your rooms, shows you what you should be looking for, and then has you organize in a way that fits your own life.
In my experience, most organizational books focuses on the physical things in your life with a few focusing on your time. In The Get Yourself Organized Project there are sections that deal with yo...more

I was unfamiliar with Kathi Lipp's MO and didn't know she considered this a "Christianity-based organizational book" until after i'd read a few chapters. I can't even remember how i heard about it - it might have been on a banner of the library's e-book page - but cannot resist a book about organization so i put it on my Hold List. Anyway, this type of book is not one i usually like but the organization tips were solid and the bits about praying or organizing so you can become the person God wan...more
I liked the idea of STEM (Space, Time, Energy, Money) and that you should focus on these things. There were some cute ideas such as having pull-out drawers under your sink and then two plastic containers on top, a mismatched sock bin, and just all the emphasis on if you don't use it, ditch it. Nothing really groundbreaking as a lot of it focused on children (not her fault, I don't have children) and she mentioned her husband a bit excessively. Not bad, may be useful for others and not the super...more
I've read up a lot on organization and this was the most realistic in my opinion. It motivated me to clean out my kitchen and pantry and I love it! It flows so much better now and it isn't a pain to find what I need. I was happy to see she uses some of the systems I have in place, but it helped me tweek them to be more efficiant and I am seeing such a difference in a few areas. Very easy read, author is funny and a Christian writer who includes spirituality in the mix.
I love reading books on organizing! (It's weird, I know, but I also love organizing closets.) This book was interesting and I really enjoyed reading the hints from other moms. I picked this up on a whim at the library and I'm glad that I did. Now back to organizing my office!
Now I just need to do the projects...New Year resolution?!?

Great pep-talk, nothing earth shattering, but enough to point me in the right direction. :-)
This was a fabulous organizing book. I picked it cuz it was a Kindle book, but I'm seriously thinking of buying it. She has a good basic system that be used on either a small or large scale which she applies on rooms, closets and even your purse. Really neat.
Didn't finish. Was okay but not enough new ideas to keep me reading.
