Recommendation

Almost everyone wants to become better organized. Thorough reorganization involves getting rid of the assorted rubbish that weighs you down and prevents you from moving ahead efficiently. Some of this junk is physical, but not all of it. Your junk can include an overbooked schedule, a mountain of action items that never get done and bad habits that steal your time. Organization expert Julie Morgenstern developed the “SHED” system to help people eliminate the messes that accumulate in their lives. Do you want to get rid of the bulky load of bricks you’re carrying? Morgenstern can teach you how. Her approach to organizing is pragmatic and highly useful. She doesn’t dwell on working smarter, improving your schedule or completing action items. Instead, she focuses on ridding yourself of your heavy load of junk, whatever it is, so you can start over fresh and light. getAbstract believes her book is perfect for anyone who wants a new, uncluttered start.

Take-Aways

  • The “SHED” program enables you to get rid of the possessions, time commitments and bad habits that have become burdens in your life so you can start anew.
  • Use the program to make a change or when unwanted change is thrust upon you.
  • SHED stands for “separate” your treasures, “heave” your trash, “embrace” yourself, and “drive into the future.”

    It wasn't as interesting and I can't relate to the principles in this book.
