I read a summary of this SHED process and decieded to get the book from the library but after a few chapters I found it really wasn't what I was looking for. I enjoyed her Inside Out Organizing book and perhaps will be rereading it but the SHED was both not what a want and also felt a bit out of her own sweet spot. The first two sections (S and H) I liked and I found things I could think about and do but the final two (E and D) were a little too self-helpy and I thought a poor fit for her style. I think for those parts, I got more out of my previous read, 10% Happier. But I'll take some notes on the first parts and reread Organizing from the Inside Out (and that sticky Time Mangement one, never did as well with that) and perhaps work on that part of my messy disorganized self.

This is a good book and the author has a lot of great insights, advice, and wisdom; however, I thought the first half of the book was more helpful than the second half of the book. ( )

There are sime excellent ideas in this book. I am trying to implement the theme concept and have shred some items and activities. I have already reaped some benefit. I strongly recommend this book. ( )

Want to become more organized? Well this book can really help to unclutter your life. There is all kinds of "rubbish" in life that prevents you from efficiently making progress. The only way to deal with this rubbish is to get rid of it. So where do you stat?? The book offers practical ways to prioritize, get rid of clutter, and deal with many of the "withdrawal pains" you may face when "shedding" long nurtured time-wasters. The book is highly applicable, and written in a very pleasant style. IMHO this book is a "must read" for everyone. ( )
