Sink Reflections
Author: Marla Cilley
Marla Cilley is The FlyLady, founder of www.flylady.net. This book is a collection of the house-cleaning and organization tips she shares on her site and mailing list. And that's about it -- take out what you can read freely on the web site and I'm not sure what's left in the book. If you just can't stand reading the material online, I guess the book is an OK investment. Otherwise, skip the papery edition.
Personally, I find the site somewhat, but not completely, useful. The material specific to housekeeping is useful. The organization (control journal) tips are better rejected in favor of David Allen's methods. These ears are deaf to the spiritual pep talk. The assumption that the reader is a Christian housewife is much too pervasive. Even though the author says she's going to explain how the methods apply to anyone she never does.
www.flylady.net is recommended. This book is not.
