Kidai? Don't know what you're asking. Sorry. If you're asking about her other books, I don't know about them. I saw her on tv, liked the way she thought, and bought this one.

I checked out Organizing from the Inside Out from the Library and it was very helpful. It gives you the general tools. I also ended up checking out House Works by Cynthia Townley Ewer. It's not as broad in scope as Morgenstern's book but what I like about it is that it's visual and has more ideas.

Hatzlacha!

I also like Julie Morgenstein's books. Her time management one I thought was more helpful than her organizing one (I own both). I also have HouseWorks, and most of the stuff in her book is on her website "organizedhome.com" She does have a lot of "how to clean" type stuff, but not so much "how to organize your life / day / time.

RachelEve14: You're right. I flipped through the book again and I'm finding I still could use some more concrete organization examples.

My overall suggestion is to check out the books from the library before buying.

thanks for all the suggestions. I already bought org fromthe inside out. I will probably buy the others for cheap on ebay as I don't have access to a library.

P&Y - did you start reading any of the books yet? Are they helpful?

I'm in middle of 'organizing from the inside out'. it sounds good so far. I haven't actually done anything yet, cuz I'm still thinking of it. and I probly won't do everything she says, but it looks like she has a lot of good ideas.
