About this ebook
This book helps you get organized through simplicity. You don’t need a complicated time management system or a planner filled with every small task right down to the last detail. You need a basic system that gets the job done without becoming a project in itself.
The authors give practical advice for getting organized in all aspects of your life:
• Organizing your desk and paperwork
• Managing your computer and smartphone instead of letting them manage you
• Controlling your finances
• Quick tips for de-cluttering your home
• Time management and scheduling
• Getting organized as a family
The authors include a simple quiz at the beginning of each chapter so you can track where you are and where you need to improve. This book will help you take charge of the details, free yourself from the pressures of over-commitment, and find greater satisfaction with your life.

INTRODUCTION
*****
Time is a precious commodity, and it seems that nobody has enough of it. Our technology should give us more time, but sometimes it feels as if our wired world just increases what’s expected of us without making it easier to live up to those expectations.
It’s rare to find a person who doesn’t get overwhelmed once in a while. Life in the twenty-first century moves fast, and we need to keep up. That doesn’t mean we have to give up control of our lives, though. We can’t create more hours in the day, but we can do more with the hours we have.
This book presents an approach to getting organized that combines simplicity with precision. We have tried all the detailed, complicated approaches to planning and managing our time, and in the end we went back to basics – methods that get the job done without becoming projects in themselves.
We’re big believers in using time
