Hi: I'm Linda Koopersmith, the author of The Beverly Hills Organizer's Home Organizing Bible.
I was very disturbed when I read the comment titled:
Great Book IF you own a home. This is a misleading review! The size of the home or apartment you live in has no restrictions on what you can do with the tips and organizational help my book offers. EVERY home/apartment, has drawers, kitchen, bathroom(s), etc., and the contents in the book explains HOW YOU CAN EXPAND YOUR SPACE for all of these areas! I wrote it specifically to help make space where there is none! For example, it explains how to get more hanging space out of your closets, no matter their current size. I hope you will look past that review, and realize that there isn't a home or office that cannot benefit from the simple, easy to read & follow information I have provided for you. Good luck with all your organizing!
Best,
Linda Koopersmith
 Good but limited book March 8, 2009

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.) While the suggestions in this book are good, they seem limited compared to other publications.
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.
 How to fold a wife beater? October 18, 2008

I was getting ready to order this book, when I checked out her website. She has many videos on how to fold various articles of clothing. One is entitled, "How to fold a wife beater." There are so many other terms she could have used, IE tank top, muscle shirt, etc. But she chose one that is offensive, low class & certainly not professional. I've since chosen not to purchase her book.

This book is a veritable goldmine of clear, practical, and actually doable suggestions for getting things organized just about everywhere in your home and office. As we plan to move into a smaller home, Linda's common sense suggestions and helpful photos have made us think of things that we had never considered before. Her listings of resources are a real asset. With Linda's help, I believe our dream of having an organized yet comfortable smaller space will become a reality.
Thank You Linda!!!! March 3, 2008
