Simple, effective ways to put things in their place from the therapist, professional organizer, and author of Making Peace with the Things in Your Life.

Those piles of papers, clothes, and other things you thought you'd successfully de-cluttered have returned, and this time they brought friends. What's the use of trying to fight the clutter? Is there a better way?

This powerful and useful guide delivers solutions that work, no matter how overwhelmed you feel. The answer isn't an elaborate new system, or a solemn vow to start tomorrow. Instead, psychotherapist and organizer Cindy Glovinsky shares 100 simple strategies for tackling the problem the way it grows -- one thing at a time. Here's a sampling of the tips explained in the book:

• Declare a fix-it day

• Purge deep storage areas first

• Label it so you can read it

• Get a great letter opener

• Practice toy population planning

• Leave it neater than you found it

Written in short takes and with a supportive tone, this is an essential, refreshing book that helps turn a hopeless struggle into a manageable part of life, one thing at a time.
