BOOK REVIEW- Organizing from the Right Side of the Brain: A Creative Approach to Getting Organized by Lee Silber

 

 Almost all the organizing books on the market today target the "left-brainer" - people who are generally disciplined, neat, and analytical. But for those who are more creative and spontaneous rather than logical and detail-oriented, help is on the way! In this book, Lee Silber turns traditional organizing advice on its head and offers unique solutions that complement the unorthodox lifestyle of the creative "right-brainer."

For example:
* Discover how right-brainers can be organized in a left-brain world
* Overcome obstacles that stand in the way of being more organized
* Pile, don't file - put paper in its place the right-brained way
* Learn how being a "pack rat" can be a good thing

This creative new approach to getting it together is perfect for those who can't relate to boring traditional organizing techniques!

Right off the bat, I liked and recognized myself in a certain sentence. 
"Working on several projects at once isn't really a problem - and often leads to inspiration for right brainers. "
I liked this insight- The solution is to make the most use of your right brain while awakening your left brain to come up with a whole brain approach to getting organized. We organize so we can be spontaneous.
I liked that it was pointed out that the’’ right’’way to organize we could look to the left for tips on how to organize & tweak them with our creative brain to match our own unique circumstances. Making it the meeting of the minds. I was good to see that I had made some progress in this area because some of the hints I had already put in place over the years.
I really liked how the book had a chart that breaks down into a Quick Quiz, where you could focus on certain areas. I looked at them all, skimming through but finding helpful things in all. Also recognized myself in categories that I hadn’t thought of before.
I find it interesting that I had to read this book in chunks because of it’s depth. While I was also typing notes about it, reading another book, oh,and watching T.V. (That falls under one of the categories, Divergent/Easily Distracted) I never thought about that before. This is normal for me.
You're going to have to take your time with book, to study it to get the most benefit from it. I thought it was worth the time and explained so well why trying to organize the way others saw as perfect didn't always work for me. It was like trying to fit a square piece into a round hole.
Overall, I felt like it was a really helpful and doable way to change things in this area. And also hopeful because of all the use-able tips. Some, I have already started to put into practice.
