Description:
This program features organizing expert Julie Morgenstern, a veteran professional organizer and leader in the organizing industry. For more than a decade, she has been solving the organizing problems of individuals and corporations. Her book Organizing from the Inside Out (upon which this program is based) is a New York Times, USA Today and Amazon.com bestseller. In the video and DVD version, Morgenstern shows specific techniques to make any organizing project simple, manageable and attainable, rather than frustrating, overwhelming and impossible.

Bestselling author Julie Morgenstern has a fresh perspective on why clutter and disorganization exist and offers specific instructions on how to permanently organize your house or office in this fast-paced world. Morgenstern begins by defining 'organized,' asserting that it is not necessarily neatness, but the 'process by which we create environments that allow us to live, work, and relax exactly as we want to.' Without a compelling reason or goal for achieving organization, she declares, failure is imminent. Once a personal goal is established, Morgenstern outlines three basic steps: analyze, strategize, and attack. The time and thought devoted to the first two steps are crucial to the success of the final step, and the lack of forethought is often why people fail repeatedly in their attempts at organization. Morgenstern suggests some very specific questions for creating a successful, personalized scheme and offers the kindergarten classroom as an example of simple and effective organization.

Once the analyzing and strategizing steps are completed, Morgenstern breaks the 'attack' phase into five specific, manageable steps. Following a woman named Wendy through a step-by-step organization of her very messy closet is an invaluable visual example of the entire process. Included on this 75-minute video is a 13-minute segment not shown on public TV, called 'Secrets of a Professional Organizer,' in which Morgenstern offers suggestions on a variety of topics, including living with a messy person, stretching closet space, travel packing, and keeping motivated. With its thought-provoking questions and specific instructions, this video simplifies the process of organization and increases the likelihood of success--it's well worth the time and money invested. --Tami Horiuchi
