Kurzbeschreibung
Organization expert Erin Rooney Doland, Editor-in-Chief of Unclutterer.com, will show you how to clear the clutter, simplify your surroundings, and create the remarkable life you deserve -- in just one week.
Simple living isn't about depriving; it's about enriching. But while scribbling "Be more organized" on a list of New Year's resolutions doesn't take much effort, actually becoming more organized requires real change.
Are you constantly late to the office because you have trouble getting out the door in the morning? Is your house in such disarray that you can't have friends over for dinner? It's easy to feel stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed when your surroundings, schedule, and thoughts are chaotic. The solution? Unclutter Your Life in One Week with organization expert and Editor-in-Chief of Unclutterer.com Erin Rooney Doland. This essential manual is a simple, day-by-day plan for purging your life of clutter, becoming more efficient and productive, and creating a symbiotic relationship between your work and personal life.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer for organization. Erin offers useful and innovative suggestions for tackling the physical, mental, and systemic distractions in different areas of your home and office each day. Her down-to-earth approach will help you part with sentimental clutter, organize your closet based on how you process information, build an effective and personalized filing system, avoid the procrastination that often hinders the process, and much more. Once you cure the clutter, she shares practical advice for maintaining your harmonious home and work environments with minimal daily effort.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book contains a LOT of tips and information on how to get rid of unwanted and unloved items in your home and at work, how to organize what you do want to keep.
It has a couple of solutions/tips that are not entirely useful in Europe (where to recyle your old stuff for example), but on the whole it is a great help.
The programm it prescribes (clear out everything in one week) takes a good deal of discipline and motivation. It will be hard work, but rewarding. Even if you do not decide to follow this rigorous steps, it still is a valuable tool, helping you decide what to do with problematic areas in your life, home and work.
I know a couple of homes that could use the advice given in this book (including mine).

Klingt zu gut, um wahr zu sein? Entrümpelung zuhause und im Büro in einer Woche. Schaffen Sie das auch? Um die Frage zu beantworten, erzähle ich Ihnen jetzt, was Sie dafür am Montag leisten müssen.
Am Montagmorgen ist der Kleiderschrank dran. Waschen und trocknen Sie alle Schmutzwäsche und holen Sie gereinigte Kleidung von der Reinigung ab. Holen Sie dann Ihre gesamte Kleidung aus allen Schränken und legen Sie sie ins Schlafzimmer. Während der Kleiderschrank leer ist, wird er gereinigt und notwendige Reparaturen und Ergänzungen wie zusätzliche Unterteilungen oder neue Kleiderbügel vorgenommen. Anschließend wird die Kleidung sortiert. Aussortiertes wird gespendet/verkauft/weg geworfen oder verschenkt. Reparaturbedürftige Sachen bringen Sie zum Schneider oder Schuhmacher. Das, was nach dem mehrteiligen Sortierprozess übrig bleibt, wird neu gruppiert in den Schrank gehängt.
Erschöpft? Draußen wird es bereits dunkel? Ähm, das war nur der Montagmorgen.
Im Büro angekommen, geht es dort in ähnlichem Stil mit dem Schreibtisch weiter. Und nach Feierabend ist zuhause die Diele dran. Einschließlich gründlichem putzen des Raumes und Neuanschaffungen etc.
Das war der Montag.
Ich mache es kurz. Das Buch enthält gute Tipps aber nichts revolutionär Neues. Der Titel ist absolut irreführend, was man sich aber im Grunde schon vorher denken kann. Kaufen Sie das Buch, wenn Sie zum Thema Entrümpelung bisher kaum etwas gelesen haben und die guten Tipps Ihrer Mutter zum Thema Haushaltsführung erfolgreich verdrängt haben.
Alle anderen können das Geld sparen. Trotz Vorwort von David Allen. Keine Ahnung, wie die Autorin ihn dazu gebracht hat, das kurze Vorwort zu verfassen.

Read This Book First
4. November 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I've read an embarrassing number of books on organizing and de-cluttering and this is the book I wish I'd read first.
When I read a book on this topic, I want a solution. I don't want to be entertained with silly jokes and I don't want a therapist to try to work through my issues with clutter. I'm not looking for an overly familiar, dear-friend type (in an author I've never met) to douse me with warm fuzzies while I get rid of my stuff. Most of the books I've read aren't bad, per se, but there's often quite a bit of fluff (clutter?) in the way of the message.
Erin Doland's book really is different. It's accessible and casual in tone, but to the point. She also acknowledges that different methods and systems work for different people. For each step along the way, she offers several approaches so you can choose the way that best fits your life and your style.
I was impressed by the way she manages to cover home clutter, work clutter and general life clutter. I came away from reading the book with a definite sense that I can actually do this -- and isn't that the point of this type of book anyway? Save yourself a lot of time and money and read this one first.

Needed an editor to de-clutter the text
20. April 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
There are some great, practical tips here, but I think the author may have gotten confused about who her audience is and what exactly we are hoping to get from the book.
She goes from assuming we are tech-savvy folk who know about or may be interested in using expensive project-management software like Backpack (which is most effective for people who work online with other people who are online), yet feels the need to explain how RSS feeds work. That's speaking to wildly different audiences.
She also spent time giving us tips for how to give an "uncluttered" office presentation, which is really not what anyone picked up the book hoping to get, I don't think.
Then, in the middle of some pretty good, if basic tips about decluttering the home, she stops to give a lecture about having an exterminator visit if you have rats and roaches. EEW! I think anyone who has rats and roaches will know that it is a priority to get rid of them, and won't be reading the book going, wow - it never occurred to me that getting rid of roaches should be important enough to call a professional in to help with!
Little things like that really annoyed me through the whole book. She'd be kicking along with some simple, encouraging advice, and then would talk down to us with stuff that sounded like she was imagining we were extremely dumb. That's not so annoying to have some dumb tips if the others are mostly high-level, non-intuitive things, but most of the book felt like warmed-over advice from other decluttering books, and not like the really interesting, lifehack-style things she recommends on her blog.
I have read two other books on decluttering to help me balance living with someone who likes to hold on to stuff, and to encourage me in a more minimalist lifestyle. My favorite of these was Peter Walsh's It's All Too Much, because he brings his own encouraging, cheerleading personality to the table and helped me feel excited to get going! I also enjoyed Maartje de Wolff's book Clear Your Way to a Clutter Free Life, again because she brought her own uniqueness to the table in exploring our feelings and thought processes carefully...
I think that's really the problem with the Unclutterer book. I expected Erin Doland's personality to shine through more deeply than on Unclutterer's website, and instead it felt like I got less of that special something that makes her tips and advice so unique.
Of course, maybe the layout of the book just didn't work well with my small Kindle 2. Take my advice with a grain of salt and read the other reviews, because I was surprised to dislike this book. I really expected more.

Straight talk and simple solutions
30. November 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I'm not the kind of person who could get my whole house (or my life) uncluttered in one week. But neither am I the kind of person who takes a book's title too literally. :) No matter what your problems with organization or clutter might be, you will find something in this book that speaks directly to you. The day-by-day approach is a simple, logical way to begin to get organized and works well to keep the reader from feeling overwhelmed by the task. You don't actually have to get the whole job done in one week (and the author makes that quite clear at the beginning). If you haven't seen the Unclutter web site, you should make it a point to check it out. This book is a great companion to the site and a great inspiration for anyone who wants to get started on uncluttering.
