    This is more about diy projects than actual organizing. Not at all what I was expecting.

    Thought I’d learn a few things about getting organized. Not. Perhaps great projects to keep your 8year old occupied. Did not find anything of interest for me. Fortunately, it can be deleted, but unfortunately, not gone-gone.

    It was an okay book, but I feel I could find this on the Internet. Nonetheless it was easy to follow.

    Some good ideas from using inexpensive or scrap material to organize the house. It seems a little crude for some projects, but for people who need to start getting organized, this book offers some creative ideas.

    Awesome! I laughed for twenty minutes straight. If you can... try and make it to the jeans hanger. Priceless. Useless. But priceless.

    This book is terrible. As others have noted, it shows you how to take your clutter and make it into organized, but still unsightly, clutter. Their idea of a cure is worse than the disease. This book does have one redeeming quality: the projects are so terrible and ridiculous, you'll bust a gut laughing at them. Glad it was free.

    All I learned is that people will go to great lengths to make things that are unattractive and pretty useless.

    Great if you need to "organize" in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Seriously if your organizing on a budget like I am Ikea is great. I personally like getting creative in there clearance room. Look up Ikea hacks for ideas, your way better off with that then this mess.

    If you can afford an iPad, I think you are going to pay the $5 for the organizational items instead of making the terribly ugly things in this book...thank goodness it was free. The jeans hanger was hilarious.

    Five stars for the rolling pegboard cart alone! These organization how-tos are awesome for setting up efficient storage systems, especially if you don't mind getting your hands a little bit dirty to make them yourself. The pegboard cart, for example, retails for a couple hundred bucks. With a quick trip to the hardware store and some elbow grease, the cost is significantly lower. Plus, you get the satisfaction of a job well done that actually helps keep your garage or basement or crafting room organized. Not all of these projects are centerpiece-worthy, but for the right person they're amazing. I adapted and painted the pegboard for my apartment balcony. I can't weld to save my life, but I can handle a screwdriver and some 2x4s. No more balcony clutter! Definitely worth a look.

    This book was very sloppy. Bad pic of bad projects! You better have a lot of water jugs laying around.
