Product Description Are you eager to make a change but unsure what's next?Organizing works when you know where you're going but don't know how to get there. But sometimes organizing isn't enough. When you're eager to make a change in your life, but you are unsure of your new destination, you need to SHED. Expert organizer and New York Times bestselling author Julie Morgenstern has developed the four-step SHED plan to help you get unstuck from the defunct, obsolete objects and obligations preventing you from living a richer, more meaningful life.

But it's not just about throwing things away! The SHED process is more about what comes before and after you heave the clutter, so that the changes you make really stick in the long term. Learn how to: Separate the treasures -- What is truly worth hanging on to? Heave the trash -- What's weighing you down? Embrace your identity -- Who are you without all your stuff? Drive yourself forward -- Which direction connects to your genuine self? Whether you're facing a move, a promotion, an empty nest, a marriage, divorce or retirement, When Organizing Isn't Enough provides a practical, transformative plan for positively managing change in every aspect of your life.

Time and Stuff Organizational Guide June 27, 2008 33 out of 37 found this review helpful
When Organizing Isn't Enough: SHED Your Stuff, Change Your Life, by Julie Morgenstern is a about getting rid of the physical stuff and the tasks in our schedules that keep us stuck. Julie Morgenstern is an organizational and time management coach and puts her talents into this ingenious book.
Morgenstern believes that organizing is what gets us unstuck. In the introduction, she promises that: "reading this book will dislodge you from your current state of paralysis and help you figure out what's next."
She introduces her theory, SHED--which means letting go of attachments of old and useless stuff to allow you to gain "energy, insight and the clarity to male decisions."
SHED is letting go of stuff in your past to allow you to move forward. Morgenstern believes we should study the reason we feel attached to certain objects and advises:
* Separate treasures ^ Remove trash * Embrace your identity * Drive yourself forward
She suggests we apply the same process of getting rid of stuff to removing tasks in our schedules that are simply habits and that do not support our current lifestyle.
Throughout the book, Morgenstern presents case studies of her clients to illuminate her theories.
I discovered the importance of letting go of stuff to allow my life to move forward in the book, Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify and Energize Your Life, Your Home and Your Planet. I think Morgenstern is spot-on with her SHED system.

Clutter Isn't Just Junk! June 17, 2008 16 out of 16 found this review helpful
Julie Morgenstern's book is greatly helpful! It intelligently points out that clutter isn't just on your desk or in your closet. The intangible clutter may be what holds back some of us that are already very organized. Most interestingly, thoughts and behaviors that suck up our time and resources and keep us stuck when we need (or have to) move forward to a new phase of life. SHED explains why this is so hard for most of us, and holds our hand through the process of de-cluttering and moving forward to our most happy self. The book uses humor and common experience to guide you through the process, instead of a "tough love", toss it all approach, which many readers in these life transition periods might not be able to handle. I highly recommend this book to anyone who feels stuck or is having trouble managing change in their life.
