Summary: Clutter Proof Your Business: Turn Your Mess into Success
Review: I would like to share with others how much I appreciate this book. I thought Mr. Nelson's "Stop Clutter From Stealing Your Life" was good and was looking forward to this latest book, but this one has been phenomenal for me. I have been able to instantly apply many of the ideas presented. The book has helped me to learn so much about myself. I could only read one chapter a night because I would get so revved up reading the stuff I would have difficulty falling asleep! I am really impressed with the research and quoting of other peoples work. Mike Nelson's work is a shining light helping many people free themselves from clutter.

Summary: Take Control of Your Life!!!
Review: These days, it is easier than ever to accumulate "stuff". In my case, that "stuff" is in various forms of information, both electronic and in print. Everyone collects a certain amount of stuff over the years. What most of us don't realize is how much our stuff takes away from our productivity. Stuff slows us down more than we realize. Why have stuff? Because we think it makes life easier; it provides a comfort zone. But filing, organizing, storing, moving, and searching through stuff is actually enslaving! If it is piled up on your desk, as in my case, then it is even more burdening. Ugh!

Every single item that you own takes a certain amount of maintenance. It has to be stored, occassionally reviewed, periodically relocated, and rarely, if ever, it gets used. Because of "stuff", you need a better filing system, more shelves, larger hard disks, and so on. Stuff makes life more complicated, more stressful. Take a moment and think about it. Does your "stuff" really make life better? Or is it simply providng a comfort zone for you? The irony is, your comfort is diminished by this so called "comfort zone" created from all this "stuff". It is time to get your act together, isn't it? Cerainly it is for me! Get un-cluttered!

Mike is an expert on the subject of clutter. He explains the importance of minimizing and he explains why less is more. Let Mike show you how to clean up that clutter and keep it that way.

In this information age, where everyone collects every bit of data on every subject known to man, it is more important than ever to find peace in efficiency. Don't let stuff rule your business and your life. Control the clutter, minimize the stuff, and you will be more efficient and effective in your business and personal life.

Summary: Real help, not just generalizations about organizing
Review: Unlike most books that tell you how to organize your filing systems, this one gives you options to personalize your own system. Mr. Nelson understands that traditional organizing tips are like Chinese food. A week after trying them, you are hungry for real, lasting help.

Nelson is obvioulsy someone who has been there (been disorganized) and overcome it. His writing is straighforward, humorous (without being cute, or talking down to the reader) and not preachy. He gets you to understand that fear of making decisions, of making a mistake or low self-esteem keep us from getting and staying organized. He applies a combination of psychology, Neuro Linguistic Programming, memory enhancement techniques, visualizations and special tools for those with AD/HD (Attention Deficit Disorder).

His unique filing sytems tailored for your own personal learning style and the aids to improving your memory are worth the price of the book by themselves. Throw in the decision-making matrix and you have a real bargain. He gives us tools to change our lives, not just band-aids to neaten up piles of papers.

This is not like any other business organizing book you've ever read. It is better. And I have read them all.
