5 Books You Must Read To Help You To Organize Your Life

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo

This is the golden grail of organizing your belongings. Marie Kondo has become a household name with her two best-selling books, consultant school, and the latest Netflix series. Marie is a petite Japanese organizer who claims to have never had a client revert to previous behaviors. She takes her profession seriously, and you can’t help but take her seriously when you read her books.

Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy

If Marie Kondo’s book is the holy grail of arranging your belongings, Brian Tracy’s book is the holy grail of organizing your life. It’s in its third edition, and it’s sold about 2 million copies in over 20 languages, so there’s something worthwhile here. “Eat a live frog first thing in the morning, and nothing worse will happen to you for the rest of the day,” Mark Twain famously said. This book will teach you how to recognize and comprehend your most critical tasks, as well as how to prioritize them.

Freedom from the Tyranny of the Urgent by Charles E. Hummel

Do More Better is a book on doing good things and doing them better, with a focus on surviving in the digital age.

Banish Clutter Forever: How the Toothbrush Principle Will Change Your Life by Sheila Chandra
