Our giveaway this week is a new book designed to help moms get it Totally Together. Subtitled “Shortcuts to an Organized Life,” Totally Together is part homecleaning system, part organizer.
The Amazon page describes it this way:
From a New York Times bestselling author, a planner and organizing system to help women conquer chaos.
This book combines a practical planner with a smart system for women who are feeling frenzied (that is, most of them!). With sets of daily, weekly, monthly, and season to-dos, Totally Together lets women manage their priorities and prevent molehills from turning into mountains.
From keeping the household in order to keeping the in-box clear, this valuable, attractive volume helps women maintain their balance in today’s crazed world.
The first forty or so pages of this little spiral-bound book cover tips for streamlining house cleaning, getting kids involved in chores, and planning for the holidays (and for real, we’re talking starting 8 months out). Some of the advice is fairly standard fare, but personally, I’m really excited to have a calendar-based system written out for me (the other 100+ pages of the book) to make sure the whole house gets cleaned and runs smoothly.
Since I read my [Disclosure] free review copy yesterday, I’ve been working to start implementing the seven habits Ms O’Dea lists as the chores to do every day. It’s not a lot of work, and it can make a big difference—I should know since a few of them are things I’ve been working on for a while (doing a load of laundry a day, timed cleanup sessions). Right now I’m sitting in a 98% clean family room—and it feels good.
I’m excited to start this program soon!
