The Neat & Simple Guide to
Organizing Your Home Office

 

What's Inside This Book

It's about far more than just organizing your workspace!

Two years in the making, the "Neat & Simple Guide to Organizing Your Office" has over 150 pages chock full of my best ultra-simple organizing advice on everything from decluttering your office to organizing a productive workflow to organizing paper, time, actions, your contacts, voicemails, passwords and more.

I've also included some of the best organizing tips from leading professional organizers and coaches I admire and respect.

Part 1 - Setting the Stage For Organizing Success!

Covers many of the biological, emotional, lifestyle and cultural causes of disorganization, and what you can do to take charge of creating your own individual, customized system that works for you. I also debunk some common myths and beliefs about organizing and present what the Neat & Simple approach to organizing is about.

Part 2 - What's Motivating You?

Features worksheets, checklists, case examples and lots of photos from my work with real clients in real home offices and workspaces. I help you establish your true reasons for wanting to be more organized, visualize success and set powerfully specific goals that motivate you into action.

Part 3 - What's Holding You Back?

When you don't take action toward your goals, something's holding you back. In this section, we dig deeper and discuss the difficulties we face in staying motivated including overcoming perfectionism
and reframing self-limiting beliefs into empowering beliefs.

Part 4 - Optimizing Your Workspace

This section includes:

• Checklists and specific questions to help you clarify your organizing needs quickly and to develop your own personal critieria for designing and choosing organizing solutions that work for you.
  
  
• How to assess your organizing style, including photos illustrating some easy ways to adapt organizing strategies to each organizing style.
  
  
• How to clear your clutter painlessly including clutter clearing checklists and a sample 5 Day plan to guide you.
  
  
• Hundreds of organizing ideas and suggestions, many with photos, for optimizing the layout of your workspace, maximizing your storage, organizing your desk, supplies and more. I never tell you "this is the one right way." You get options and suggestions on how to tell which is right for you.
  
  
• A whole chapter on organizing paper and files.
  
  
• In-depth case studies with photos from actual client projects illustrating what we did, the process we used and exactly how we did it, what supplies were used and more.
  
  
• Tips on enhancing the energy in your office by applying Feng Shui design principles.
  
  

Part 5 - Organizing Yourself for Success!

This section gets to the heart of productivity, efficiency and goal setting. You will be inspired by the many ideas for:

• Managing your time, actions and To Do's
  
  
• Managing voicemails, emails, passwords and more
  
  
• Setting up reminder systems
  
  
• Choosing the best planner for you including comparison charts on digital vs. paper planners
  
  
• Organizing your contacts & much more!

Reading a book is not the same as a hands-on organizing session or a personal coaching session, but this book is the next best thing to having your own personal coach to walk you through assessing what you need and getting organized. You will get access to my best ideas as well as those of some of the top organizing professionals in the country including Jessica Duquette, John Trosko, Ramona Creel, Brandie Kajino and more.

The price of this book is a small fraction of the investment in a live consultation with a professional organizer. Just one hour of a professional organizer's time is $75 and up to $250. So, what's stopping you? Let's get started organizing and optimizing your office for success NOW!

About the Author Ariane Benefit, M.S.Ed. Ariane started her business career in 1981 with a Masters' Degree in Education specializing in Organizational Training. With 12 years experience as a change agent, coach and learning and performance improvement consultant to the Fortune 500, she launched her own performance consulting firm called Bridges to Performance in 1993. She has happily run her consulting practice from her home office ever since! In 2005, she founded Neat & Simple and began working with individuals and small businesses to get long lasting RESULTS. She has helped hundreds of clients release the physical and emotional clutter that holds them back from realizing their true potential.   Why I Wrote This Book My mission is to help people triumph over lifelong disorganization and thrive with ADD to achieve the results they want. My vision is ultimately to offer a wide range of affordable, high quality performance support resources for people who can't afford to work with a personal organizing coach. My goal in writing this book is to inspire and empower you to simplify, clear clutter, and get organized enough to have time for what truly matters to you.   I Haven't Always Lived Clutter-Free and Organized, Either! I grew up in an extremely cluttered & disorganized home. That's what started me on my personal journey to conquer my packrat tendencies starting when I was in college. In 1989, having relocated several times, I found myself saddled with over $25,000 credit card debt. I was organized at work, but at home, I was facing possible bankruptcy. I also still had just about every piece of clothing, every book and magazine, every record album I ever owned! I even had every bill I'd ever received. I learned the hard way what the cost of clutter really is when I was living in Illinois and wanted to move back to NJ to be near family and start my own business. That's when my personal battle with clutter began in earnest. I had to release most of what I owned just so I could afford to move. Three years after moving back home, I had finally released most of my clutter, organized myself, paid off my debt, and was finally able to realize my dream and start my own consulting firm! I am living proof of how getting organized, simplifying, buying less, and letting go of things frees you to take charge of your life and achieve your dreams. I still have the tendency to let things go and get cluttered when I get really busy. The difference is that now, it never even gets close to how bad it was AND I have systems for getting things back under control quickly and easily. Working with people to take charge of their lives by decluttering, simplifying, and getting organized is incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. I can't imagine a better life than one spent sharing the lessons I've learned and helping others succeed in spite of what seems like overwhelming obstacles! My Personal Office Before I Got Organized... My Office in 2002 My Newly Redesigned and Organized Office in 2007 My Commitment to Learning I am deeply committed to continuous learning in order to provide the best possible organizing services and ensure my clients achieve the results they seek for the long term. I am certified by the NSGCD as a Level 2 Specialist in Chronic Disorganization, and have a certificate in ADD organizing. I am currently enrolled in the CPO-CD program (Certified Professional Organizer in Chronic Disorganization), a two-year intensive program offered by the NSGCD. __________________________________________   "Neat & Simple Guide to Organizing Your Home Office!

Read What People Are Saying About the
"Neat & Simple Guide to Organizing Your Home Office"

The "Neat and Simple Guide to Organizing your Home Office" is the most comprehensive and practical book I have come across starting my organizing business in 1999. It's easy to read, encourages you to discover your true self by identifying your priorities and organizing style and teaches you how to get past the mental clutter to propel you to success. It's not just another organizing book to add to your collection.
It's THE book to have and refer to, not only for your office, but the entire home.

-Eileen Kirna, President

I just finished the book on the plane and it is awesome!  It is easy to read, and visually very appealing. If you're struggling with clutter and organizational challenges in your office, this guide was meant for you..... the guide provides examples of various kinds of organizing tools (bins, shelves, stands, etc.) and discusses the merits and potential pitfalls of each tool. I found this section to be valuable and thought-provoking. She also offers quite a collection of tips for filing, electronic organization, reinforcing and maintaining your systems. One last comment on this guide: it just feels organized. It's loaded with useful pictures -- and the layout, graphics, and flow of the book are awesome."

"Ariane offers practical advice that can easily be adapted depending on your space. I have recommended this e-book to my blog readers and those who invest in it, love it!"

Dr. Amie Ragan
Psychology of Clutter

This book is the most delightful and comprehensive "how to" manual that I have had the pleasure to read in a long time.  Ariane covers it all!  I will definitely recommend it to all my clients who struggle with organizing their offices.  It is an easy read and chock full of valuable insight and information. It is very easy to understand and then implement changes you need to make in order to free yourself from clutter and disorganization."

- Liz Maffucci, Professional Organizer and Coach
The Clutter Warrior

It is a masterful work. Not just the content, but the look and feel. Books about organization abound. Sure, "Neat & Simple Guide to Organizing Your Office" covers the necessary "what to organize and how to organize", and does so in a comprehensive, useful, and delightful way. But, perhaps most prescient is the author's treatment of what prevents people from organizing and how they can move beyond the impediments to reap the rewards of full and beneficial organization. I highly recommend this book and will promote it to my customers!"

-Paul Stout, President, Mrs. A's Corporation

This book is fantastic! I love it! Especially your idea of making file labels with logos for your ultra visual "innovating" style client. That was BRILLIANT! I never would have thought of that! I will recommend this book to all my office organizing clients and to my blog readers too!"

Notes From Clients About My Book

Email received Office Organizing and Coaching Client, Debbie Rasiel, Bergen County, NJ
(Photographer and Author)

I sat down tonight and read the first 40 pages. It's so well written...clear, engaging and very human. I never thought I'd find a how-to book on organizing an interesting read, but yours is. It's because this is actually a book about making fundamental life changes, which can only come from a deep level of self-awareness. You are one impressive woman! See you next week!

- Debbie Rasiel, Photographer

Wow! I just read Ariane's book and I am beyond impressed. ... She has a very gentle way of exploring the underlying reasons why we struggle with organizing everything around us. ... [As her client] she provided a kind of spiritual, organizing awakening in me that I have been able to maintain (almost always!) She even inspired me to start my own business!...
