Summary: I Liked It!
Comment: I'm a messy person. Every once in a while, I try to organize my living quarters and my office. There are certain rooms in my house that I already have a very good organization system for (bathroom/kitchen), and others where the little details are out of control (papers on my desk at my office, "clutter" on the floor of my room and on shelves). This book gave very specific tips on how to think about your space, to let go of the items that are unecessary and to find proper space for ones that you decide to keep. The greatest part of the book is the compassionate understanding Nancy Miller has for the unorganized person's emotional attachment to clutter. She makes it painless and liberating with relatable chapter headers like "Don't Throw That Away- It Fits Something- I Just Can't Remember What!" It was so inspirational and easy, I reorganized my room the next day and cleared off my desk at the office. For people who constantly seem to be on the verge of chaos, these handy tips will add up to a giant leap towards organizing your life. Thank you Nancy!

Summary: Mostly Clutter
Comment: “Clutterology” lacks a strategy or plan for getting the reader organized, unless “get rid of clutter” counts a plan. Although the chapters are generally divided by rooms, the content of those chapters is not well organized. It’s a bunch of random tips, in no logical order, many of them annoying trivial. An early topic in the paperwork chapter is “paper clips vs. staples.” Filing comes later. And the first bedroom topic is bed linens--generally not the source of the mess in most messy bedrooms.

The book is full of clutter, such as cute little anecdotes about Nancy and her husband Mike, and tidbits about the British Royal family, having nothing to do with organizing. Does the reader need an entire paragraph about how many pillows Nancy and Mike like on their bed?

I got a few useful things out of the book: the chapter on how to prevent junk mail, a good list of questions to ask about each piece of paper, and the reasonable time periods for keeping various types of business records (bank statements, cancelled checks, and such). But I don’t think this book is worth anywhere near ....

Summary: One of the worst organizing books ever...
Comment: The author didn't provide much content in terms of new organizing ideas. This topic can be very broad and the book seemed to gloss over the whole subject at an extremely high level. Definitely not much substance here! Although it was a very quick read, it was still a waste of time if you're looking for meaty content.
