We’re answering questions you sent us over the summer.
Q: What books do you recommend most for new professional organizers?
A: I have my favorites and I also asked my colleagues on twitter and facebook what book on organizing had the greatest impact on them. Here are the answers:
@janebutton – Long ago ready SideTracked Home Executive books – made a huge impact on home & biz
@janetbarclay – Time Management for Unmanageable People
@janicesimon - Peter Walsh’s It’s All Too Much; Organizing from the Inside Out, Getting Things Done, 1 Min Organizer,and Eat That Frog!
Mary Mountford & @jeridanski & @OrganizedMarcie – David Allen’s Getting Things Done was eye-opening for me. David Allen’s Getting Things Done changed the way I think about tasks, helps with clients.
Abby Hirsch Phillips - Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui - Karen Kingston
)
Organizing from the Right Side of the Brain by Lee Silber let me know I wasn’t doing things backwards and Time Management for the creative person by Lee Silber.
Conquering Chronic Disorganization by Judith Kolberg
Neat Mom Messie Kids by Sandra Felton – Great for moms trying to manage the family

Many of the ones mentioned, I have read or am reading but I found a little book that is packed with great information in a condensed style! 10-Minute Clutter Control Room by Room, Skye Alexander. I love it!
