Organizing and Productivity Books
There are lots of books on organizing and productivity. My favorite organizing and productivity books focus on topics that are more than just “how to books.” The topics include content that provide insights into the big picture of organizing and productivity. Some of these focus on what holds you back. These books promote creating new perspectives and new awareness. Here’s a list of my favorite organizing and productivity books.

If you love books as much as I do, you want to organize them too!
So many great choices and approaches out there. I’ve read a number of books, and learned something from all of them. I got to read one from a fellow organizer (that is yet to be published) about her growing up years and her mother and how all of that impacted her now. Great read!
I’ve read to a number of these books. I plan on adding the rest to my wish list. =) Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Seana and Sabrina! I love reading and this shows you do too!
The only one of these I’ve read is “Organizing from the Inside Out” which is excellent. Another one I really enjoyed is “Time Management for Unmanageable People” by Ann McGee-Cooper with Duane Trammell.
Thanks Ellen, I’m adding to my reading list!
That is truly one of the best!
