Sink Reflections: FlyLady's BabyStep Guide to Overcoming CHAOS,
by Marla Cilley (2002, FlyLady Press), paperback, 207 p.
"Are YOU living in CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome)?" This caption caught my attention, and I am currently
reading this book. So far, I must it an enthusiastic "thumbs-up!" The premise is simple, but effective--start
with a night-time routine of cleaning your kitchen sink. There's more, so check back to read the full review when I've
finished reading this book. For more information, you can also visit the author's website.

Messie No More,
by Sandra Felton (1989, Fleming H. Revell), paperback, 186p.
I picked up this book expecting tips on organizing my home,
and found a new way to think about how my personality, past, and
preferences affect the way I manage the paper and people in my life.
I underlined passages on almost every page--this is a definite
must-have book for anyone wanting a deeper understanding
about themselves in their battle against clutter and chaos.

Sidetracked Home Executives:
From Pigpen to Paradise,
by Pam Jones and Peggy Young (1983, Warner Books), paperback, 157p.
Now in a reissue edition, this humorous book is PACKED with good
organizational instructions. I especially liked the filing system
these two sisters recommend, which I've used successfully
for over ten years. Some of their card-file suggestions get too detailed
for unstructured people like me, but overall, this book gave me
courage to tackle the papers and files in my life. It's a valuable and
encouraging resource.

Time Management for the
Creative Person, by Lee T. Silber (1998, Three Rivers Press),
paperback, 224p.
This new release featured in Writer's Digest Book Club is a treasure
trove of advice, insight, and inspirational quotes to help us creative
people get moving again. I found this book a delight. It's not your
ordinary time management book, and once again, I found lots of things to
underline that hit home. Great gift idea!
