Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Just not the state of the art
Review: Don Aslett's books on cleaning and home organization/design are indeed classics. However, currently, there are indeed, much better books that can help with coping with time by S. Covey, L.B. Jones, B. Tracy, J. Davidson, and K. Gleeson.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Resource
Review: I started to type out a wordy/lengthy review of this book but then decided it would be much better to make a brief statement as to why I thoroughly ENJOYED it:

Don Aslett has a unique way of 'embarrassing' people, including me, into trying to turn over a new leaf. So many parts of this book pertained to my life, and I think that, even though he writes with a lot of brashness, it is just the 'medicine' that I need to try to get with the program: decluttering, trying to cut housework, etc. We are all managers, and we are the only ones who can change things: nobody is going to do it for us.

I also am keeping the words "look at cleaning up after [something] as the restoration process," so now when I'm taking care of the house, I'm not simply "cleaning" it but "restoring" it.

I got this book through an inter-library loan but am thinking about purchasing it used thru this website and using it as a reference whenever I need a boost...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Makes you think about what you do....
Review: If you enjoy Aslett's books on clutter, then you'll probably enjoy this one too. It has many tips scattered throughout that I've found useful in managing a home, a job, a family, and a gazillion interests. I disagree with him on some details, but I found a lot to think about and try out in my own life.
