This is a great, quick read for those of us who find ourselves living comfortably in clutter, even while thinking in the back of minds that maybe we should try to get rid of that clutter. I have always loved clutter. Clutter - mine has almost always been books and papers strewn about in delightful piles and stacks - made me feel productive. It was a visual representation of things I had learned, read, was working on, would be working on, was interested in, and so on. It was a visual representati

It's the time of year to put up your Christmas decorations and prepare for Christmas parties and ... clean all those corners and ledges you ignore until it's time to hang wreaths and put up Christmas trees. Smallin, the author of Unclutter Your Mind, Organizing Plain & Simple, The One-Minute Organizer, and Cleaning Plain & Simple, which this book is condensed from, puts in a quick and breezy guide to cleaning your house from top to bottom.

I love Donna Smallin's books, but these are just little bite size versions of the full book Organizing Plain and Simple which is fantatic! Cleaning Plain and Simple is awesome too. They are reference books so you can turn to whatever section you are working on (cleaning ovens, organizing closets) or read it cover to cover!

This is the book that got me organizing everything. I organize something new everyday! By the time I get through with everything, I start all over again. Donna Smallin explains how fun and easy it is to organize - and how you can do most small projects in a single minute. To me, this is a definite 6-star book.

The One-Minute Organizer Plain & Simple book is about you organizing things. Like storage, cleaning your room, and even doing chores. This helps you organize almost everything!!! It gives you the power of reading a thing to do.

This book breaks organizing down into simple steps. It not only makes those overwhelming projects seem managable, it also motivates you to actually do something about your disorganization.

It was a quick and easy read. Filled with easy organization tips and thought-provoking questions, I realized it was possible to begin getting organized, with just 15 minutes a day!

Excellent fast read about 500 Tips on getting your life in order. This book rock on simple ideas that I didn't even think of. Great Book! A good one to always have around the house!

Okay book. This book just gives hundreds of little tips of how to organize. I've heard 90% of those tips. And most of the tips weren't things you can do in one minute to start organizing (as I thought the title implies) I want to know how to put it all together and organize different rooms in my house, and change myself into a more organized person. Maybe her other books are better.

I was hoping for some enlighting ideas on how to get organized, but it was all common sense.

Nifty! Nice tips to help make small, but effective changes in your home and office.

A little too simple of a book than I was looking for, since it all basically boiled down to "spend 5 minutes putting stuff back where it belongs." I should have spent more time organizing and picking up than actually reading this book. Ha!

This book was awesome as well! I am definitely going to be buying both of these "one-minute" books. If anyone has trouble keeping things tidy and organized, these books will give you tons of suggestions. I am definitely motivated to get my house in order.
