"This book is packed with creative solutions for the "clutter challenged." It is a very complete and sympathetic look at a problem that plagues millions. I found several of the suggestions very practical for some of my own clutter "issues."

"Sheila offers down-to-earth practical ideas for general organizing as well as specific ideas that would help ADD, dyslexic, hoarding, OCD and handicapped clients. The short, easy-to-read chapters give organizing suggestions for each room of the house to avoid "Clutter Start." Summaries and "I will" bulleted statements at the end of each chapter make it possible for the reader to easily apply the organizing ideas. "

"Sheila's use of evaluative questions assists the reader in making decisions about what to do with their stuff. She has rightly identified areas people afflicted with ADD and Dyslexia struggle with and has sensitively made suggestions that will help them. This book will help everyone. The filing chapter helped me personally and I can now quickly retrieve and file without fear of losing records."

The title of this book is indeed symbolic of where we are as a society-filled with too much clutter. This book offers insight and ideas for each of us to pick ourselves up off the floor and get organized."
