The book for review for today is “The No-Nonsense Home Organization Plan” by Kim Davidson Jones. This book falls in the category of House and Home, Cleaning and Caretaking and Organization.

Is your house a mess? Do you want to get it organized? Have you tried but just been overwhelmed?

Well, this book gives you a 7 week program to declutter your home in any space.

The way the book is organized is you do one section of your home per week. For example week one is the communal space such as the kitchen while week two is the living room and that is followed by week three which is the linen closet, mudroom and linen closet. It continues in sections for your whole house.

There are what the author calls no nonsense rules, seven to be exact, that is recommend one read before starting to organize your home.

As you work through the book it goes into detail on where to start, how to start and how to make that area clean and not clutter.

The book has some humor I found and a lot of useful tips.


My thoughts:

I have gone through a lot of organizational books for I am always on the hunt to getting my house decluttered and organized. This book I will admit is one that I can attest to that would help me get there. It is very specific with each section and reminds us of what we should be doing as we clean.

I did enjoy this book and it is one I will be using.

I received this book free from Callisto Publishing for a free and unbias review.

This is my first decluttering book, and it was straightforward and sensible. In 49 days of small chunks of time the reader can declutter their entire house step by step. Kim Davidson Jones starts by tackling communal spaces, followed by personal spaces like bedrooms and then storage spaces, ending the book with garage and yard. An enjoyable read, and accessibly organized for those who prefer to skip around the book. Thanks to Callisto Publishing for the review copy!

Decided it's time to declutter and organize your home or apartment this year? This little pocket sized book is huge on helpful hints to help you get that done. It gives you a seven week plan to make your space a more peaceful and put-together area.

There are a lot of great tips in this little book!

Energizing

I enjoyed this book very much,but I wish it had a chapter on home office. Like keeping my desk clear and filing important papers etc.

[Darcia Helle · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a short, succinct book that addresses the basics of organization.

Honestly, I didn't find it helpful at all. I'm an organized minimalist married to a pack-rat. I was hoping for more insight into tackling this issue, as well as creating better organization within limited space.

If you're at a complete loss as to how to organize, I'm not sure this is the book for you either. While the steps are easy enough to follow, you have to go into this with some understanding of how to best organize your stuff.

Mostly, the advice here is to tackle one room at a time, first organize your possessions into things you need, want, and can get rid of, and then put it all back where it's most convenient for your use. Go on to the next room, rinse and repeat. The best advice is to stop holding on to possessions solely for the sentimental value, which is great advice in principal but difficult for many people in practice. If you hold on to stuff because it means something to you but you don't need it, I'm not sure the one page of advice here will help.

If you're just looking for basic ideas, a little direction, and motivation, then this book will likely be good for you.

If you can meet the suggested times in this book, you don't really need it.

The author suggests that you should spend an hour, yup, an hour, emptying, sorting, decluttering, and organizing your bedroom closet. If I could do that I wouldn't have clutter, I'd just be tidying and organizing. The author talks about organizing books and clothes by color, I'm sure it would look beautiful but is it realistic for someone dealing with 30 plus years of clutter? The best tip she has is not to buy organization supplies until you are done.

As an home organizer, I enjoy reading books from other organizers point of view and learning their tips and tricks. This book would be a great starting point for someone who needs the process broken down into simple steps. Each chapter is a new room to tackle. While accurate, the process tends to get repetitive and didn’t need to be written out seven different times. But with that said, I did find some of her tips interesting and will be using them with my clients. Overall good read for someone looking to begin organizing their house!

I love this lady, no nonsense approach to organising.

She takes it step by step. You do it in different rooms and areas of the house. It a wonderful way of staying on top of things.

Good starting point for non-full-time workers

This book was written in a clear, conversational way. Provides a timeframe for taking on home decluttering. A valuable guide for those who "don't know where (or how) to start."

Simple plan for organizing the home

The author details in categories how to declutter the entire home by completing a new task each day over a seven week period

[Jessie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun, easy to read. This book is true to the title, and therefore is strictly about organizing a home, not how to clean it. Also, it seems to be primarily geared towards homeowners with children.

Those who live in an apartment might benefit somewhat, but there is information included that may not suit their needs, for instance, organizing attics, basements, garages, yards, etc. Still, it is a great book for anyone that has let items pile up over time.

The author has a pleasant tone and speaks to the reader as though she is right there with you.

Enjoyed reading this book, and I did learn something new, and what I already knew was a reminder to keep going in the right direction.

This is a great book. Even if you're a procrastinator or don't feel like you have time to clean and organize your home, this book will help!

Ended up skimming. Nothing new or noteworthy if you are a fairly organized person already.
