New book announcement


I'm delighted that the new book, I'm Not Neat But I'm Organized, will be shipping in October! We are starting presales on the book which can be found at http://www.summitstarpress.com.

Here's the fun part. My husband, who is very different than me when it comes to organization (his strategy for organizing is to "marry well") helped edit my book. After editing, he said, "Did you notice how clean my desk is? Everything is organized! Look, I moved away the things I don't use very often, just like you said in your book!"

I was so proud of him! I never tell him to clean his desk since, after all, my book is about valuing organization, not neatness. But when he edited the book and discovered how he could use his natural style to get organized, he put the tips into practice and put together a very simple system that now works for him.

Now his desk is neat and mine is a disaster.

So, hats off to my husband. He's suffered through editing the book. He said, "Editing a book on organizing is like asking you to edit a book on car parts." (He loves cars - he's an engineer. I'm a graphic designer whose only answer to his questions about what kind of car someone has is, "It's blue.")
