Simplify Your Space: Create Order and Reduce Stress

by Marcia Ramsland

Wow, I thought the last Marcia Ramsland book I reviewed was good.  This one just blew me away.  I don’t know about you but I am totally visual.  I really need to see what something is going to look like before I implement it so I know if it’s going to work for me or not. This book was just perfect for me.  Throughout Simplify your Space, that’s exactly what you get.  No only does Ms. Ramsland tell you how get the different areas of your home organized, everything from your bathroom to your basement and every room in between but she shows you how to do it as well.

The first thing I noticed is how the book is broken down.  This I thought was one of the best features as you can work on the area you want or you feel needs to be worked on or should I say organized first.  The different sections are entitled: Simplify your Visible Space, Simplify your Personal Space, Simplify your Active Space, Simplify your Formal Space, Simplify your Storage Space. Within each of these sections you will find the areas covered listed such as in the case of the Visible Space, this would cover your kitchen, family room and daily paperwork. Makes sense huh?

I especially found useful the Desk Setup and the illustration showing where everything should be and why. It all seems so common sense but I never would have thought it out the way she does.  The way she recommends setting up your desk area makes things not only organized and neat but workable.  It all flows from one side to the other.  It all makes sense and makes it works. If you are like most people you desire a clean organized home and life but you may find it difficult to achieve, you will find Simplify Your Space Create Order & Reduce Stress just what you are looking for.

If you enjoy this book you will certainly want to check out her other books as well.  Why not get you entire life organized from top to bottom, day in and day out!
