A completely revised and expanded edition of the New York Times bestselling guide to putting things in order
Getting organized is a skill that anyone can learn, and there's no better teacher than America's organizing queen, Julie Morgenstern, as hundreds of thousands of readers have learned. Drawing on her years of experience as a professional organizer, Morgenstern outlines a simple organizing plan that starts with understanding your individual goals, natural habits, and psychological needs, so that you can work with your priorities and personality rather than against them. The basic steps-Analyze, Strategize, Attack-can be applied to any space or situation.
In this thoroughly revised edition, Morgenstern has incorporated new information in response to feedback from her clients and audiences. These changes include
- new chapters on living or working with someone who is disorganized
- new chapters on organizing photographs, handbags, briefcases, and travel bags
- an expanded program for organizing your kitchen
- a new guide to getting started
- a fully updated resource guide
Julie Morgenstern is the founder of Task Masters, a professional organizing company that provides consulting services to individuals and companies. Her corporate clients have included American Express, Sony Music, and Microsoft.

May 12, 2009: I have a tendency to keep far too much, and as you can imagine my house gets very cluttered. When I saw this book, I flipped through and found someone who has been there, and pushed through to the other side -- finally being organized. In the first section, she takes the reader through some principles of organization and necessary steps that she has found to work, and also writes about some of the reasons people keep too much. I felt like I was reading about myself! The second section breaks down specific parts of the house, and suggestions/strategies for each of them. After reading the book, I'm going back to the beginning to put the principles into practice. I highly recommend this to anyone trying to organize their home -- whether it's a closet or the whole thing, there is help for you in here!
