Critic reviews

"Full of useful information for everyone, from the person who needs simply to clean a messy desk to the person requiring a whole new approach to life." ( Library Journal Starred Review)

it's an ok read

it wasn't horrible like others said. while some things are dated, it's not that serious!
it goes through the months and a plan to declutter it all

So Good!

I really enjoyed listening through the year of organizing ideas. I was able to apply many of them immediately and rethink several of my existing systems. Excellent read I would recommend to anyone looking to get themselves in order.

Manageable and practical suggestions

I am not naturally organized. Regina broke the how to down into manageable sections for me. I found her suggestions immediately applicable and she helped me understand a way to determine what was important for me to keep and what was not. I am working on my home and am energized about it.

Excellent and enjoyable guide

What did you love best about One Year to an Organized Life?

Regina is a pleasure to listen to. She offered many solutions on how to get your home organized. She brings a vast experience and tried and true methods to implementing organization. I really enjoyed listening to her calming voice.

Confusing presentation but good ideas

Confusing as to the best audience for this book, maybe best for a professional organizing coach. Lots of ideas but the personal stories
