Average Rating: Rating: - Another Victory for Ms. Morgenstern Ms. Morgenstern's first book, Organizing from the Inside Out, was tremendously helpful because of its ease with which I could apply the principles to my life. Her kindergarten model of organizing space -- to create activity zones -- totally resonated with me the first time I read OFIO, and her use of it again in relation to time management is so great! She advocates a goal-oriented approach to scheduling time and actually helps her readers think through their goals. In the second part of the book, which I found particularly helpful, she brings the kindergarten model back and applies it to mapping out time. Morgenstern also provides specific instructions about how to zone your own calendar so that you can make really effective and informed decisions about your time. The most appealing part of Morgenstern's approach -- and the part that separates her from other self-help authors -- is that she never IMPOSES anything on her readers; rather, she teaches us _how_ to discover what's going to work in our own lives. She gave me freedom to figure out what was going to work for me, rather than making me learn a new, complicated system to impose on myself. Rating: - What a helpful book! If you are like me, you have had a lifelong battle with poor time management, chronic messiness and clutter taking over your life and home. In January 2001 I decided to do something about it and bought this book as a way to conquer these pesky things which have plagued me for so long. I have really enjoyed the way this book is presented. I've owned it for about a year now, and I still frequently refer to it. It's also good to take a few minutes to go over it when you are feeling overwhelmed, especially if you have a lot of "irons in the fire." I find it's reassuring and gets me into the right frame of mind to do my cleaning up, or whatever I happen to be procrastinating on at the moment. I have now read this book from cover to cover and it is truly a wealth of information. This book really is worth your time. But you have to use the methods presented in the book or it won't help. Good luck! And get organizing!!!! Rating: - Make Sense of Your Schedule, Achieve Your Goals I found Julie Morgenstern's first book, Organizing from the Inside Out, so helpful, that I was happy to buy this one (and this from someone who rarely buys books when I can just check them out of the library--I never actually bought the first book!). It uses the exact same principals as the first book, only geared towards time management. The principals are organized and logical, and really help you make sense of your schedule. And it will help you create a schedule that will help you achieve your goals and achieve balance in your life. She covers time management briefly in the first book. (In fact, she highly recommended using a planner and so I bought one and have found it extremely helpful). Here she gets into more detail, and I found the extra detail on how to create a time map especially helpful. I am working on my own time map now. It's too early to say that I have mastered time management (it does take time, after all). But I am starting to feel a sense of control over my time and space and that is more valuable than I had previously realized. She recommends reading the first book first, because working with the space in your home is more tangible than working with time. I agree.
