The Home Edit: Stay Organized: The Ultimate Guide to Making Systems Stick by Clea ShearerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
HELP! I got pulled in to another The Home Edit ROYGBIV organizational porn book! This book is focused on staying organized and decluttered after the initial effort. Once again it's page after glossy page of items organized by COLOR! It was interesting that they included "Before" and "After" pictures, but to be honest the "Before" pictures looked better than 99% of the drawers, closets and pantries that I've ever seen!
I found some of their decisions so shocking that they were funny: pickles and wine are considered an "unholy marriage" in the refrigerator, so throw away the pickles; throw away your potato masher ("who mashes their own potatoes?"); kids' snacks lying loose on their sides made them feel "sad." Also, make sure that your kids don't choose activities that require bulky equipment that need to be stored in your garage.
There is definitely not much substance in their books, and they rely on pretty pictures to sell their books. Must resist!
