The 8 Minute Organizer

Easy Solutions to Simplify Your Life in Your Spare Time

By: Regina Leeds

Narrated by: Regina Leeds

Whether you are busy dealing with a demanding job, raising kids, or coping with illness, simply finding the time to get organized can be a challenge. The 8-Minute Organizer to the rescue!

Regina Leeds shows how anyone can organize their home with just a few minutes each day. She has tailored her magic formula (eliminate, categorize, organize) so that readers can work in short, effective increments and complete small projects that add up to big progress. The book includes hundreds of systems and tricks - from rapid closet rehab to tackling junk drawers, clutter-busting a room to setting up a mail system. Leeds also offers quick but important daily routines (making the bed), periodic tasks (checking the smoke detector), and fun projects (creating a dream board) to keep up the momentum.

Critic reviews

“Leeds gets right to the point and offers simple, attainable advice” ( Library Journal)

Wish I’d had this years ago.

Ms. Leeds is very encouraging and her ideas make sense. She’s very encouraging and I highly recommend this book for everyone, but especially those with young children, or before you even have any! The reason for four stars instead of five is I think a “hard copy” would be more practical.

The virtue of 8 minutes

No doubt the author has really good ideas for organizing one space. I especially appreciate the detail offered to explain organizing tips. While the author does not in anyway imply that any zone can be completely organized in eight minutes, The series of eight minutes required to accomplish many of these organizing tasks could amount to days.

Good to listen to for beginners

If you have no knowledge in organizing, this is a good book to start with. Otherwise you may find it too basic. To me the content is a little dated too.
