I just got the Carolyn Woods book and wished I had gotten it from the library. There are a few good ideas that were new to me, but on the whole was a disappointment. From looking at reviews on Amazon, I'm wondering if these types of books should be borrowed from libraries. Everyone's situation is so different it is difficult to talk about organization without generalizing.
January is typical organization month. There will be lots of magazines offering help. Organization products will be on sale too.
Good Luck!
