Books about Organizing and Self-Management:
The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities. ~ Dr. Stephen Covey
The challenge of work-life balance is without question one of the most significant struggles faced by modern man.
If you don’t know you have it, or you can’t find it, it is of no value to you!
Clutter is nothing more than postponed decisions.
~ Barbara Hemphill
Letting go of items that no longer serve me feels liberating.

I was one of those people who never planned more than one minute into the future…
Professional Organizer
These books are by authors whose quotes about organizing are famous.
All of these books have almost nothing to do with organizing; yet their authors came up with these great quotes.
Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.
I personally find that for domestic purposes,
the Trivial Pursuit system works better than Dewey.
~ Nick Hornby
Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
One person’s mess is merely another person’s filing system.
~ Margo Kaufman
First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.
I pulled out box after box, setting them haphazardly around the room.
My organization lacked something—like, say, organization.
Instead of thinking outside the box, get rid of the box.
