Average Customer Ratings:

Eliminate Chaos is a user-friendly system for organizing each room of the house, including the kitchen and pantry, closet, garage, home office, and childrens' rooms. The author’s ten-step system is presented in an easy-to-use, workbook-style layout. Full-color photos demonstrate the various stages of the organizing process, illustrating not just "before and after," but the realistic, messy, all-important steps in between. Leist’s method is based on the underlying principle that "it’s not about the stuff." She touches on the psychological reasons behind clutter and not letting go — such as procrastination, denial, thrift, and family history — but her underlying premise is that being organized is an on-going process, not a one-day event. By learning to sort, prioritize, and make fast, rational decisions about their household goods, readers become more efficient and functional not just at home, but in other areas of life as well.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

A book on organization you will actually finish reading & use -
I bought this book because I'm trying to get inspired on exactly how to deal with the clutter/choas from combining my husband and I's stuff when we married. I have bought several books on eliminating chaos and getting my house organized. Most of them deal very theoretically but this one is really helpful for several reasons. She provides before and after pictures of the space/room they tackled along with the story and a particular client she took on for that room. What I like about the book is she explains the steps of sorting/purging and gives the categories they created for sorting the items in each room. Her rationale for organizing the kitchen was practical and very helpful and gave me so great ideas about how to make my kitchen stuff more ergonomically efficient based on her sorting categories. She also has a list of great tips at the end of each chapter for organizing each room. She also has a list of really probing and helpful questions to help you decide what you need to keep and what you need to get rid of. She also has a great chapter on downsizing for elderly people that provides great reasons for doing so. Its a fantastic book, and it has a personal touch with her stories from her own life of her personal experiences that motivated her to be a more organized person. I have never finished a book on organizing and I actually wanted to finish this one. This is a must read for those trying to get organized and need practical steps to do it.

Very informative -
I bought this book as a learning tool for my new organizing business. I have learned so much! It is a step-by-step detailed guide on the entire process of organizing any room in your home. I have purchased several books on this subject and this is one of the best.

Eliminate Chaos -
This is a very helpful book to eliminate clutter. It includes lots of pictures to see what organizing a home is all about before and after de-cluttering. You can get ideas instantly just by looking at the pictures and comparing what you have at home.

Good not great -
First I have been working diligently on de cluttering my personal and business life. I have read so many simplifying and de-cluttering and efficiency books I almost have a clutter problem with all the books on the subject. (Cured that recently too with the Kindle 2.) This book covers many problems with valued solutions but it could have been more. She dealt with other peoples problems instead of her own or ours if you know what I mean.
I run three business. One brick and morter and two online. I was getting over four hundred emails a day and was drowning in mail and spam. So I utilized ideas / suggestions from several sources to cure my problems. From the Four Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss we started using detailed faq's lists on our websites and an auto-responder that answered many questions so we would no longer have to reply to as many emails. For the ones we do answer the questions are predictable and we saved the answers as email drafts that way we just cut and paste and all done.
For the Spam we ran our eight email accounts into one google mail as they have the best spam filters and you can reply from the email address to which the mail was sent so they dont know that anything is happening. And suggestions from the life hacker Upgrade Your Life: The Lifehacker Guide to Working Smarter, Faster, Better by Gina Tripani has some interesting ideas for sure.
Keeping your inbox empty we use suggestions from Stress Less and Zen to Done by Leo Babauta and you would not believe how much better you feel when things are under control. But it is you who must Work the system or you will be overwhelmed again.
A much more detailed program is used in Getting Things Done David Allen book, but the above is kind of the simplified version that I currently prefer.
And for just getting rid of all the clutter in your life any of the books from Peter Walsh, How to Organize (Just About) Everything, and Enough Already, are great even though they tend to recover some of the material from his other books somewhat but thats not a big deal since the info is worth repeating. Another good author but she covers pretty much the same thing is Julie Morgenstern. The books by Koch on the 80/20 principle are also worth looking into. For the paper clutter in my life I have a digital sender scanner and have scanned over four full file cabinets into Adobe PDF computer files. I have done this with pictures too as you can also save them info Jpeg and Jiff files. While there are tons more books out there and I seem to have most of them, these are the best to get things under control and to get you the time to do the things that matter to you.

Eliminate Chaos -
I am the sad owner of literally dozens of "orginizational" books! They are piled up in my office area, on the floor near my bed and positioned randomly throughout my home! As you can tell -- NO ORGANIZATION HERE! When I opened this treasure I knew I had arrived; I was HOME. It gave me very practical actions that I had no trouble following. Thank you, bless you. Those other references can GO -- LABELED "CLUTTER"! I am a happy camper once again and can move freely throughout my home for the first time in many years. Thanks again...
