		<description>Phil,
You're going to love this book when you get farther into it.  It's amazing, but you've actually anticipated some of the concepts.  For example, from Chapter 9, "Organization":
&lt;blockquote&gt;
"Closets and dressers are Victorian innovations that enlightened organizers now look past.  The efficient housekeeper lays his or her clothing about the floor--two or three layers deep, if necessary--allieviating the time-wasting movement of folding, hanging and stacking the clothes while forever making obsolete the cumbersome process of sweeping, mopping or vacuuming the floor surface."
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
or this one, from Chapter 11, "Technology":
&lt;blockquote&gt;
"Dressers that once held clothing and personal affects are now transformed into their more perfect utilitarian role--as housing for electronic components, connectors and surveillance equipment.  Leave drawers unshut at cockeyed angles so that the RCA cables and quarter-inch cords may dangle freely from their overflowing boughs like ripening grapes at a vineyard."
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Oh, and on the kitchen (Chapter 12):
&lt;blockquote&gt;
"Who has the time to toil over backbreaking entrees like spaghetti, grilled cheese or Campbell's soup?  Leave those unwashed dishes to ripen for another fortnight while you and your newly-organized compatriots sample the board of fare at Nacho Mama's.  Nothing tastes as good as the Super Burrito Grande with the knowledge that a clean, tidy homeplace is waiting for your return."
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Enjoy!</description>
