Organize Your Garage
...In No Time -
A book Review by Nancy J. Reid

Organize Your Garage ...In No Time by Barry Izsak is by far one of the most helpful books I have read in a very long time. Just the idea of cleaning out the garage is enough to send me back into my office (which could also use some organizing). It is an over whelming task which lurks in the back of my mind, and I am sure I am not alone.

January rolls around and of course, we are supposed to make those resolutions. Organizing the garage is always on the list--and in my case, it stays there--year after year. It's like a neighbor that keeps visiting--unannounced and uninvited--the only way to make it go away is to tackle the situation. Fortunately, armed with Barry's book, it suddenly becomes interesting, doable, and there is that satisfaction of a job well done feeling waiting for you once you are done.

Organizing is an extremely important thing. After all, time is the one thing I know for sure we cannot replace--and of course, time is money for a lot of us. There is also another important thing about getting organized--it is a stress reducer and a confidence builder. It is great to know where everything is. Barry leads you through all the steps in a very forthright, pleasant manner and if you do as suggested, you will organize your garage.

There are so many ideas in Organize Your Garage..In No Time, and plenty of pictures of what a clean garage looks like as added incentives, that it becomes a way of thinking and a way of life. Barry has even given you a check list for each step of the way. He even tells you how to get rid of the unwanted items, how to have a successful garage sale, and how to turn your garage into a useful space.

The steps in this book can be used to organize your office and each room of your house--as Barry says, though, one step at a time. I highly recommend it as a good read, tons of valuable information and something you will use over and over again.
