Jane Stoller

Stoller has bared her soul telling the reader at the age of 6 she was organising her stuffed animals by colour and size. In later years she says she often stayed home on a Saturday night to re-organise her closet. This could be seen by some as a form of OCD leaving her open to ridicule. However Stoller’s true passion for her organisation and thus control over that part of her life shines through in every word.

I was once a very organised person and I was hoping that Stoller’s book would give me the inspiration to get back on track. However “Organizing for Your Lifestyle” was geared toward the single working female, or male, with no allowance for family chaos or clutter.

The book had lots of name dropping, washing advice, beauty advice and healthy eating advice. The author has a great passion and enthusiasm or all things healthy and natural and this shows in every aspect of her life.
I found the storage advice was expensive and time consuming, definitely not for the time poor or large families.

I did find some great advice concerning linen storage and decluttering which I’ve already started to put into practice.

I would recommend this book for the single working person (male or female) and DINKs. I think if they are looking for some organisation and storage tips this book would be of benefit.… (altro)
