Bookseller Information
Bibliographic Details
Book DescriptionNew York, New York, U.S.A.: Owl Books, 1998 Trade. As New. Book summaryFrom A ("activity zones") to Z ("zigzag organizing"), Julie Morgenstern provides a guided tour through the jungle of getting organized--and begins by removing the guilt factor: organization, she says, is not an inborn habit but an easily learned skill. She also stresses the idea that each person must use an ordering principle that comes from within--not an impersonal structure imposed from without.First LineIf I asked you to describe an organized space, what would you say? From most people, I hear things like "neat and tidy," "spare," "minimalistic," and "boring." Publisher NotesVeteran professional organizer Morgenstern has spent years honing the principles of organization into a simple, and universal system. Organizing from the inside out--developing a plan tailored to each individual's psychological needs--ensures, once and for all, a system that won't break down. Morgenstern explains the basic concepts--analyze, strategize, attack--then provides tips gleaned from her years of experience with offices, home offices, mobile offices, children's rooms, kitchens, garages, and storage spaces. Organizing From the Inside Out will be welcomed by corporate executives, entrepreneurs and the self-employed, working parents, students and city dwellers in small apartments--anyone facing an overwhelming amount of clutter, both physical and psychic. Also provided are useful chapters on time management and taming technology, critical elements in any modern organizing scheme. Julie Morgenstern, founder of Task Masters, offers a three-step organizing system that can be applied to any space or situation. The plan is tailored to each individual's psychological needs and ensures, once and for all, a strategy that won't break down. 20 photos. ExcerptFact: Organizing is a skill. In fact, it's a remarkably simple skill that anyone can learn. How do I know? Because I was once a notoriously disorganized person myself. In fact, everyone who "knew me when" is amazed at the irony of how I make my living today. Two summers ago, I went to my twenty-fifth summer camp reunion. Naturally, as we all got caught up on what everyone was doing with their lives, I spoke with pride about my work. Since professional organizing is such an unusual field, all of my old friends found the concept absolutely fascinating. One brave soul, dear, sweet Martin G., put his arm around me, discreetly pulled me off to the side, and whispered politely, "Uh, Julie ... I don't remember you ever being particularly organized."
