I'm the author, and I'm really excited about this book. Instead of "27 ways to store canned goods", this book focuses on the core habits you need to bring better organization into your life.

It's a bit of a new direction for me, so I'll be interested to see how this book is received.

Nothing really new, but as always, I need reminders of the basics! ;) This was a quick read; time will tell if any of it sinks in!
