Have recommended the book to many people.
Have recommended Organizing for the Creative Person to many people. The approach is easy to understand and not judgemental. It starts with the idea that people need to understand and accept their messy tendencies before they can cope with them. Problem solving approaches may at first seem simple but they are not. Just recently a young graduate student told me nothing had helped with her tendency to clutter and to have trouble with time except this book. The only problem she had with it was keeping it. Her sister kept borrowing it!

Not Very Creative
What an incredible disappointment!! I have to agree with the point of view of one other reader...this book has absolutely nothing new to tell anyone about organizing... the writers try to pretend there is a different spin to their method, but it just ain't true! I read the book hoping that someone would give me some refreshing ideas that would enable me to throw away my daytimer forever. Imagine my suprise when we get down to the nitty-gritty and up pops the picture of a daytimer-type organizer page, as well as other materials taught at Franklin Covey seminars!! Hey, if that had worked I would not have picked up this book! Bottom line I got from the book: creative people have to learn to stop and focus some of the time. Consider yourself right-brained in a left-brained world and do the best you can. There is nothing new under the sun!

If you're right-brained, this book works
I have read this book about twice now and I believe the authors completely understand right-brained (RB) people and wrote the book in a way that works well for RB's. My belief is that the people that gave this less of a review were perhaps not as much in the RB mode as they suspected. The book uses diagrams, formatting, summaries, examples and specific advice very well, making it easy for us RBs to understand why we're different and how to make the most of it. Similar Products
