Review of 1-2-3...Get Organized series by I'm an Organizing Junkie 

I'm An Organizing Junkie says ....

"I know I've reviewed a few organizing books in a row now but I've got another great set to tell you about that I think you're going to like. Professional Organizer Beverly Coggins has created a 1-2-3...Get organized series of seven mini books to help you organize your life one book at a time.

The seven books are as follows:
- Three Steps to Organizing your Child's Room
- Three Steps to Decluttering
- Three Steps to Organizing your Kitchen
- Three Steps to Organizing your Office
- Three Steps to Time Management for the Stay-at-Home Mom
- Three Steps to Clever Cleaning
- Three Steps to Time Management at the Office

Each books consists of three main steps with each step offering plenty of tips and advice broken down into quick and easy to read points.

I'll tell you what I love most about these books. Not only are they small but the plastic glossy pages are wonderfully durable making them perfect for throwing into your purse to take out and read whenever you are stuck in a "hurry up and wait" situation. I also love the colorful pages as presentation is very important to me.

For those a little more ambitious and wanting to really get serious about getting organized she offers a workbook series that comes complete with checklists, questionnaires and templates on CD. Some of the titles include Three Steps to Downsizing to a Smaller Residence, Three Steps to Time Management for the Working Mom and Three Steps to Planning Dinner. These do-it-yourself guides are very thorough with Bev carefully walking you through each step of the process.

Now I've saved the best for last. One of the other things Bev includes in some of her packages is a Hassle Free Dinners CD. This CD is a menu planners dream and you all know how I feel about menu planning! It offers 52 dinner menus complete with step-by-step instructions and recipes along with coordinating color-coded weekly shopping lists. I am very impressed with how much work this must have been to put together especially since everything you need to put quick, nutritious, sophisticated meals on the table is included! She also didn't repeat an entree for the entire year either! Well done Bev!"

About beverlycoggins

During my 26 years coaching within a non-profit, I became fascinated with personality profiles. After becoming trained as a Myers-Briggs Personality Type facilitator, I started my own business helping people master the key areas of life and business: interpersonal relationships, clarity of focus and priorities, maximizing time and energy, and organizing space - both at home and at the office.

Interpersonal relationships: I conduct team building seminars and invidual coaching based on personality. Some of my clients have included The World Bank, The Department of the Navy, The Embassy of Jamaica, boards of directors, non-profits, families, married and engaged couples. I also help inviduals discover their own personality profiles as they grapple with careers, college majors, mid-life crisis, and self-image.

Clarity of focus and priorities: I help people rethink life or career based on personality type, priorities, passions, and giftedness.

Maximizing time and energy: time management, efficiency, and scheduling.

Organizing space at home or at the office: functional rooms or work spaces allowing people to work at top efficiency. My specialty in this field is helping people downsize to smaller residences.

Combining my personality-watching and my professional organizing, I discovered that those who are most overwhelmed by organization are often very creative and artistic. My recently released 1-2-3...Get Organized series of books and workbooks was written for this audience - colorful, glossy, short books. Each book addresses only one organizing task and provides three simple steps to accomplish that task.

A sample of the 16 titles: Three Steps to Decluttering, Three Steps to Downsizing to a Smaller Residence, Time Management at the Office, Time Management for the College Student, Organizing Your Office, Clever Cleaning, Organizing Your Kitchen.
