Finally - the ONLY book on organizing that you will ever need!Oct 12, 2009
By L. Bradbeer What a joy to read Hellen Buttigieg and Sari Brandes' "Organizing Outside the Box: Conquer Clutter Using Your Natural Learning Style" - a must-read for anyone who is still strugging with organizing their stuff and their life. I didn't realize that everyone had their own natural method of learning. FINALLY a book that explains each learning style in detail with practical examples (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic). Also how to blend styles when you live or work with others who don't share (or appreciate!) your own way of organization. A fabulous little book that you will refer to over and over with additional valuable resources in the back. This book puts fun back into organizing!

The secret's out-we can ALL be organized (& it's actually a natural process once you've read Hellen Buttigieg's book)!Dec 02, 2009
By Lisa Millar I bought this wonderful book in October and am enjoying the experience. I started to cry when I read about my style, because up till now I figured I just was an organizational misfit. Knowing that there is actually a kinesthetic organization style has simplified my life-it makes so much sense to me now!
Being organized is getting easier with each suggestion that I implement. Thank you Hellen for writing such an insightful book that has given me the ability to heal my organizational heartaches.

Simple and to the PointNov 08, 2009
By Jayne Steeber
"N.DrewType"
As a Hellen Buttigieg devotee I was thrilled to see she'd finally put her direct tried-and-true advice into print. Many readers may overlook this gem because it is so succinct-however it is precisely the lack of fluff & redundacy that allows this author's distinctive brand of expertise to shine.
If you are done with organizing books that hide their real message in layers of illustrations, humor & hyperbole, this is the book for you. When the bottom line of clearing clutter FOR GOOD is your goal, this is your 'Bible'.

Hitting the MarkNov 23, 2009
By Kimberly Beaven Hellen has done it again -- her newest book, "Organizing Outside of the Box: Conquer Clutter Using Your Natural Learning Style", is an amazing "kick-in-the-butt" reference guide. She is a no-nonsense woman and the way she approaches gearing your journey to peace and organization based on truly understanding yourself, your colleagues and family speaks of deep understanding and experience. I have to laugh as I think back to her TV show "Neat" and how she in her non-judgmental approach, takes the bull by the horn; her book reflects that mentality -- deep down you know that chaos and disorder are thieves, as she spells it out. She understands that there is an emotional/psychological and sometimes even a socialogical attachment to "things" and she helps, through her book, to frame that understanding. Once you know how you learn (yeah, I had the conviction bubble light up over my head) you understand why you do certain things or have certain habits. Fine tuning what actually works for you in your home or office brings a sort of enlightenment. When she describes working with a team/office environment, it makes sense that certain people are naturally more comfortable with doing things a certain way -- it is not my way of the highway, but, let's find the best way.
This is a great book and I think I read it as soon as I received it. Will be a handy resource for understanding my staff, colleagues, clients, and yes myself too.

A Must Read for All Professional OrganizersFeb 05, 2010
By Janet Barclay
"Organized Assistant"
There are a lot of organizing books on the market, but as a professional organizer, you don't need to read about the same strategies over and over again. I've always found that the most valuable books are those that acknowledge that organizing systems need to be tailored to the unique style and personality of your client. Organizing Outside the Box by Hellen Buttigieg is such a book.
There are several reasons that this book deserves a place in your library:
1. It provides tips to help you assess whether your client is a visual, kinesthetic, or auditory learner.
2. It offers strategies for each of the three learning styles, including photos of suggested products.
3. It even includes recommendations for handling those tricky situations when people with different learning styles share space at home or at work!
4. It is a quick and easy read, so you don't have to struggle to find time in your schedule to read it.
I've known Hellen since 2002 and have been her virtual assistant since 2003, so you may think I'm a little bit biased, but you don't have to take my word for it. In case you haven't heard, Organizing Outside the Box: Conquer Clutter Using Your Natural Learning Style won the 2010 Los Angeles Organizing Award for Best Organizing Book, so I am definitely in good company!
