About this audiobook
The purpose of this audiobook is to declutter your life, choose best in class examples to follow, and do the small things to make your life more pleasant. This lecture was given at Wellesley College about how to enter the "real world," which the author emphasized college certainly is, and make their life better. The "Just Do It" philosophy, promoted by Nike and adopted by so many others, permeates the book. Good today is better than great tomorrow, with the author commenting that waiting for great tomorrow usually leads to just falling further behind. The tracks deal with simplifying your life as Henry David Thoreau pointed out was so essential to one's well being. This is a how to book with suggestions ranging from keeping a coat hanger in your car to keep your sweater or coat clean and neat, as well as available for weather changes, to a 24 month plan to put your life into total order. The audiobook emphasizes making conscious choices of what you allow or keep in your life in order to eliminate those things you do not find worth the effort and/or expense to do.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5In my opinion the author/narrator sounded too flippant with his advice, as if getting organized is as simple as just deciding to do it. And honestly, anyone who tries to tell me to throw out anything I haven't used in 6 months just sounds ridiculous. Of course I didn't expect a one hour audio book to be life changing, and I get what he is trying to say. It's just not that simple.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5simple concept you have probably heard before but need to hear again
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Practical ideas that are great for a person looking to just get organized or get ahead.
