Make a To Do List once each week and cross off items as you accomplish them. At the end of the week, throw the old list away and start a new one. Use drawers or boxes instead of piles to keep things tidy at your desk. These are just two of the simple and easy-to-use tips mother-daughter team Robin and London Venturelli provide in their collaboration of time-saving tactics in Organize Yourself!
Encouraged by family and friends to share their life-simplification tactics, Robin and London compiled their contrasting organization methods into one, easy-to-follow instruction guide. A natural and traditional organizer, Robin combined her methods with her daughter’s unorthodox organizational style to provide a more efficient way of life for virtually anyone to follow, allowing more leisure time and less stress.
In their collection of invaluable advice, Robin and London guide students and/or adults through common areas of clutter and stress and provide helpful suggestions to keep life simple and efficient. Readers begin by taking the initial “Organizational Assessment,”
• Your desk and closet
• Sharing a bathroom
• Your homework, locker and free time
• Settling arguments
• Household chores
• Vacations and exercise
• Relaxation
• How to have fun!
Robin and London also incorporate bonus “Words of Wisdom” chapters at the end of the book, highlighting additional life-changing events for high school students and how to minimize anxiety by going about them in an organized fashion.
“With increased demands to be productive both at home and either at school or in the work place, our amount of free time is dwindling,” says Robin. “By using the skills explained in the book to organize yourself, the reader will have more free time for fun.”
With clever and simple tips written in an easy-to-read format, Organize Yourself! shows readers how uncomplicated it is to incorporate organization and to streamline everyday life. The goal is to spend less time on everyday necessary tasks, and more time having fun.
