Book Review: Unclutter Your Life in One Week

Book Review: Unclutter Your Life in One Week by Erin Rooney Doland

This was a great book for someone with severe disorganization and had some helpful tips that we could use.  The best one that we have implemented with immediate results, has been changing into our pajamas one hour before our desired bedtime.  This has helped us stay on track with our evening routine.  It helps us to stay focused and not get sidetracked by all of the things that still need to be done or that we want to get done.  We have also found that instead of going to bed with a million things on our minds, our thoughts have settled more, we're in bed 30 minutes before bedtime,we actually get to converse uninterrupted and have time for some scripture study.  Getting to bed on time really helps start the following day off on the right foot.

Another helpful tip was setting out clothes for the following day during our evening routine.  This is really time saving in the morning.  We've been doing this for Big Sis for quite a while to avoid meltdowns during our morning routines, but never thought of doing it for ourselves.  It's helpful to discover any surprises the night before, so we aren't chasing around looking for it in the morning.  It has shortened our morning routine just a bit more...always a blessing.
