How Did You Find That ?: Four Habits From Chaos To Control

HOW DID YOU FIND THAT?

Several years ago, a neighbor asked me to help fix her crashed computer. I agreed but first had to run home and grab a diagnostic disk. I said I would be back in a few minutes and did exactly as I had promised. But my neighbor was shocked. She pointed to the disk and said, "How Did You Find That?" It seemed inconceivable to her that I could find what I needed so fast.

At first, her confusion didn't register with me. What did she mean? Then I entered her home and understood. She was living in a state of chaos. While I helped my neighbor that day with her computer problem, I never really answered the question, How Did You Find That? The answer is in this book.

ABOUT THE BOOK

This is not a book about cleaning, clearing, tidying, decluttering, or organizing. I am not a professional organizer and I'm definitely not a minimalist. I am a writer who likes my things, all of them. But without a reliable system to maintain control, I would live in a constant state of overwhelm and chaos. How Did You Find That? breaks down the four habits I have learned to manage my space and the things in it.
