"At last, an organizing system for us creative right-brain types!"
-Kenneth Blanchard, co-author of The One Minute Manager
Creative people - whether artists, homemakers, or executives - often have problems with organization. Organizing for the Creative Person is the first audiobook on organization and time management to draw on the startling discoveries made in recent years about right-brain and left-brain dominance.
If you're the kind of person for whom conventional checklists and filing systems don't feel natural, you're probably right-brain dominant. Organizing for the Creative Person offers dozen of practical,
down-to-earth techniques to help you find the organizing style that works for you. You'll learn ways to:
* Reduce clutter
* Use your time more effectively
* Overcome procrastination
And since opposites attract, there is a special section on how to deal with left-brained spouses or co-workers (or how they can deal with you).
Creative people can be just as organized as anyone else, but only if they arrange their desks, time, and lives in a style consistent with their unique way of perceiving the world. This is the first book to address the organizational needs of this substantial segment of the population. 20 line drawings.

June 29, 2007: I'm an executive in a highly competitive and aggressive sales organization with a colorful mix of 'creative' and 'analytical' minds. Beyond the valuable 'personal organizational system' offered, this book is a powerful awareness tool for those expected to develop people's potential into bottom-line benefits offering leaders a better understanding of how the two types of minds experience and interact with their world, and then how to synchronize them into a highly efficient go-to-market machine. It's very easy to make this book about you but, its true value is in making it work for those that work for and with you - then, everyone wins... especially, your customer!

January 15, 2000: I am a Professional Organizer and member of the National Association of Professional Organizers for over five years. In addition to working with individual clients, I teach an adult education course entitled 'Get Organized, How Can You Become Famous if You Can't Find Things?'. Last semester, I suggested that a student read 'Organizing For the Creative Person'. The next week she came to class with a copy of the book. She said that she said that she cried as she read it: someone understood her and she felt that she was not alone for the first time in many years. I've recommended the book to others as well. 'Organizing for the Creative Person' is a classic. Judy Stern, Organize NOW, Great Neck, New York
