[.ca] Cut The Clutter and Stow The Stuff: The Q.U.I.C.K. Way ... (ISBN 1579545122)

cut the clutter don't buy this book:
I bought this book while I was living in America and have just gotten around to reading it.I wish I had not ,the pages are badly set out with to many side bars making it a pain to read .Also there is not enough good information in it to make it worth buying.A note to the editor if you produce this book for the British market you want to use another word than Tosser this is not a nice word over here and may offend some people.

TOO CLUTTERED!:
This book has too many no brainer solutions, and not enough real problem solving information. I love the beginning of the book with the note from the editor, she writes that this book sat on her desk, under a pile of clutter, for a while before she decided to sit down and read it--was it that bad!? The book itself needs the pages uncluttered, it was so hard to read and was poorly designed. The funniest part was when my husband came in our kitchen one day and saw this book sitting on top of a mountain of paper clutter. In summary if you just throw away or organize your stuff, you want be cluttered--easier said then done.

Cut the Clutter, Stow the stuff:
I believe this book to be very helpful. IF you are not impaired in the ways of organization, then of course this book would have useless ideas for people who already know them. For those of us with this problem of not knowing how to organize, this book is great. It showed me how to organize space more efficiently, gave me a different outlook on how to use different rooms in my home and gave me some resources for what to buy for cabinets, closets and entryways. It is VERY helpful and full of all different advice in the way of organization. IT points out the psychological reasons we hoard things,,,,what type of clutter person you are and with that information helps you fight the habits that got you to the place where you needed to buy the book in the first place. Reading the other reviews, I believe them to unfairly put this book on a low level, seems maybe these people did not need the help to begin with??? It helps...it has major ideas and a lot of them in an easy to grasp format that is easy and pleasurable to read.

Contradictory and Confusing:
The layout is poor with too many sidebars. I kept losing my place on the page when trying all the information. The Q.U.I.C.K system while good in principle is not fully explained leaving gaping holes in the process. At one point the authors tell you that over-the-shower head caddies are one of the "Three Overated Containers" and in another section they suggest them for shower organization. Huh?
