From Amazon:Organizing is about more than just finding a place for everything. It's about finding a level of order that's comfortable for you, discovering places and people that renew your energy, and being organized enough to feel balanced. In The Other Side of Organized, Linda Samuels, CPO-CD® will encourage you to get organized enough to reduce the stress of life's details and make time to embrace your passions. Already, thousands of clients and readers have found help and inspiration in her advice, personal reflections on change and connection, and vision of what can be accomplished when you find that sweet spot between chaos and perfection.

Does the fact that I haven't even finished this book indicate that I am not very organized?! I love the concept of being organized enough - each of us has our own comfort level of what organized enough means to us. With our own set of circumstances and our own lives - this will look different for each one.
As indicated by the photo artwork, the book is divided into categories mirroring the four seasons - Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. Each section is easy to read and encourages and challenges us in looking at our ideals or goals and think about how our choices are feeding or harming those things.

Being organized is just a dream, but I'd like to be entered anyway. I usually buy the magazines that seem to come out every January with articles about getting organized for the new year. Now I need to find a way to organize my organizing magazines. :)
I would love to be more organized, but life is kind of crazy right now, combined with the fact that we opted to rent a house for a year before buying so we could move as a family so another move coming up and it is kind of crazy.
Hi Monica!
Yes!!! I so want and need this book!!!
If you saw my apartment that would be enough, but if you knew me that would just solidify how useful his book would be to me!
I want to embark pn a new journey at the beginning of the year and the fact it is divided into season would work really well!
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win in this giveaway!

We just finished some MAJOR home renovations and I am faced with putting the house back together after what feels like more than two years of moving! I would love to have a resource that would help me in organizing this home we've created for our family.
I love the feeling of being organized. There is always room for improvement.

I would love this book. I am so not an organizer, although I aspire to be!
I've been working hard to organize and declutter my home the past few months - it's hard to make time with three little ones underfoot (and we homeschool), but the progress I've made in my spare minutes is really encouraging. I'd love to have a book to give me pointers as I (hopefully!) finish the task this winter.
I am a homeschooling, special needs mom...organized? What does that mean? Thanks for this giveaway!
I had an organizing book that I really loved and I put it somewhere really sensible... but I can't find it... haven't seen it in years... true story.
I have to wonder if I lent it to someone because I've cleaned this house top to bottom and not found it.
Pick me. Please. :)
That sounds like a book I could really use!

I love to be organized, and dream of ways to achieve this. I will even attempt to start a project... always running out of time and motivation to end one though. This book looks like it is full of motivation & helps.
I would love a copy! :)
Organization is an area I need some help in. I would love to be included in your drawing.

I'm so excited about this book b/c I think it will explain so much, especially to my husband, about why I am the way I am when it comes to letting my organization, or lack thereof, control the way I feel about everything else in my life.
