\"organizing<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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.” \u00a0 The topics include content that provide insights into the big picture of organizing and productivity. \u00a0 Some of these focus on what holds you back.\u00a0 These books promote creating new perspectives and new awareness.\u00a0 Here’s a list of my favorite organizing and productivity books.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

The Power of Habit<\/h3>\n

A New York Times best seller, The Power of Habit <\/span>shares how habits work. \u00a0 The book shares the science of habits.\u00a0 Develop powerful positive routines with this book.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Essentialism<\/h3>\n

Greg McKeown<\/span> shares the value of paring down to what is essential to you.\u00a0 In order to say yes to what’s most important,\u00a0 you have to know what to say no to.\u00a0 This book shares a new perspective on how to prioritize.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Organizing from the Inside Out<\/h3>\n

Julie Morgenstern wrote this book in the early 2000s, at the dawn of organizing. It’s a must read for all who are interested in changing their space.\u00a0 This book outlines simple ways to organize.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ADD Friendly Ways to Organize<\/h3>\n

Written to address the needs of those who have ADHD, this book shares practical strategies for organizing. Written in collaboration by an organizer and a therapist, ADD friendly strategies start with self – help and move to working with professionals.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

More Attention, Less Deficit<\/h3>\n

Beginning with a review of ADHD symptoms, this book provides extensive suggestions for overcoming every day challenges face by those with ADHD.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Organizing Plain and Simple<\/h3>\n

This book is a simple reference for all sorts of organizing challenges and practical ways to make a difference in your home or office.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maybe you are not a reader.\u00a0 Many of these books are offered as audio books.\u00a0 Maybe you like to read several books at a time.\u00a0 Choose a book that sounds interesting and share what resounded with you here.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you love books<\/a> as much as I do, you want to organize them too!<\/p>\n
