Title: Organizing for the Rich and Lazy
Review: This book does exactly what it purports to do: it tells you how to organize your life with a minimum of personal effort. That sounded great to me, but when I actually read the book, I realized that "the lazy way" meant "hiring servants to do everything." Unless you have a significant amount of disposable income, this book will not be of much help. Ms. Ahlgren's suggestions frequently come down to the same basic message: There is no problem that cannot be solved by throwing money at it. As a young, married professional and student, I cannot afford to hire a housekeeper, a cook, someone to pay the bills, a gardener, and a complete suite of office furniture. If I did, then this might have been a valuable book, but, as it is, I am going in search of something that will help me learn to manage my time without encouraging gross fiscal irresponsibility.
