Life Changing

This book has changed my life already, and I've only been following it for a couple weeks! I know that may sound dramatic, but along with Regina's support and others via teleseminar, email, and Instant Messenger, I can already feel the benefits. A very interesting plan. Extremely well written.

The elimination, organizing, journaling, and dreamboarding is creating a new energy that I have not felt before. As I check off my list, I want to continue to do more. A must have for anyone!!!

Start organizing your life inside and out!

I read this in during a time of my life that felt most disorganized, chaotic, and out of control. My mom gave me this book, and I thought it would just be about physically organizing my home, but instead, it's actually about organizing yourself mentally and emotionally then physically.

The author takes you on a step by step process of imagining and reflecting on why you are the way you are--why you are always late or why you impulse buy or why you can't seem to find your keys. Through reflection, you are able to organize yourself internally and then begin the challenging but completely doable process of clearing and organizing your living space.

It also has a helpful section about moving, which happens to be a timely project for me (my husband and I are moving cross-country in a few months).

I plan on giving this to all my friends!

An organized life lends to more time, less aggravation, better health and more

An organized life lends to more time, less aggravation, better health and more - and professional organizer Regina Leeds here provides a set of guidelines to help even the most disorganized reader gain control over time management. These are organized in a series of weekly and monthly plans to streamline everyday life challenges, from making a home space more efficient to organizing travel, business and finances. Consumer collections will find it invaluable.

Covers way too much territory to explain a simple concept

On page 24, Regina Leeds says just about everything that needs to be said on the subject: "Everything you do needs to be scheduled". This happens to be the same message David Allen delivers much more effectively in his "Getting Things Done".

Of course, saying it is a lot easier than doing it, which is why people like Leeds and Allen can count on their books selling year after year.

Leeds takes the approach of teaching you how to organize your life over the course of a year, with new projects every month. For me, the approach simply doesn't work. Too much territory is covered. For example, I'm not going to be moving into a new home, so that chapter - and the month's project - is wasted on me.

Also, Leeds is a bit too "New Age" for my personal taste. Tidbits like an "affirmation" for the month strike me as treacly. August, for instance, tells you: "I am guided with ease to my new home. I embrace the life waiting for me. I also bless and thank my current home. I release it to the new occupants. I am thankful for all the participants in this transition."

Regina Leeds has quite a following, apparently, but I don't think I'll be joining it.
