Organizing and tidying up has become a national obsession. We are on an endless quest for the perfect containers, boxes, totes, bags, bins, shelves, files, folders, and labels to tame our closets, corral our clutter, and eliminate chaos. Books and television shows promise the magical secrets to getting and staying organized. "So," you think, "if I just buy these things and follow these instructions, I will finally be organized and joyful!"
Author Lisa Lawmaster Hess is going to let you in on a secret: that doesn't work.
Why? Because you have been chasing one-size-fits-all solutions. But you are not a one-size-fits-all person. You're unique. (Just ask God, who created you!)
Know Thyself is an effective and fun way to discover your personal and organizational styles, and will help you own your style. You'll take what you might have thought was a flaw and learn how to make it a strength. And that, plus Lisa's help and a sense of humor, will guide you toward an organization method you can really stick with.

I’ve followed the organizational wisdom of Lisa Lawmaster Hess for years and am thrilled that she has now compiled her wisdom into a single easy-to-implement guide! Know Thyself is the one organizational system I’ve discovered that doesn’t try to transform me, my home, and my messes into a one size fits all solution, but rather helps me know my personal tendencies better and enables me to work within them to have a lifestyle, career, and spiritual life that work together to bring satisfaction, productivity and peace. Transform your systems, have fun and see terrific progress working your way through this book!

Lisa Hess’s book, Know Thyself is an entirely new approach to helping people with organizational issues find a workable solution. It’s especially refreshing to read positive and affirming comments throughout the book. No shaming or blaming permitted in Lisa’s world. Her positivity motivates the reader to discover their own step by step personalized solution. I highly recommend Know Thyself as a must-read.

From the Author
This book has been over a decade in the making and I am so excited to see it come to life, thanks to the wonderful team at Our Sunday Visitor. As an organizational work-in-progress, I believe that getting organized is a personal endeavor, not a one-size-fits-all proposition. I hope you'll come with me on this journey to organization that uses your "default settings" -- the personal and organizational styles that are the foundation of sustainable organization -- to help you create organizing solutions that work for you.
