Hannah's Art of Home: Managing Your Home Around Your Personality

This book looks at homemaking with new eyes. Rather than approaching it as a chore, Hannah Keeley uses her background in Psychology and her love of homemaking to inspire and organize the daily household routines to compliment your personality. She focuses on how your personality affects your home environment and takes homemaking to a realistic, fun, and energetic place. Take a moment to determine your homemaking personality and see how to find time to enjoy the rest of your life.

My distaste for cleaning goes almost as deep as my love of reading. Both have prompted a long search for that magical book, the one that somehow turns cleaning and organizing into a wonderful and exciting task. While this book may not be that particular panacea, it goes further than any other that I have read. I love the concept of amtching your method to your personality and Ms. Keeley's humor makes me laugh even when I am knee deep in the laundry. It was a wonderful read and I enjoyed it very much. Now, if I could only find the front door . . .

Wow.... How did she do that? As I have cleaned and reorganized my home to flow more compatibly with the real me, I have laughed and been entertained as if I had invited my best friend over to keep me company.

If you're like me, you have walked over that pile of dirty clothes behind your bedroom door (because there is no room for them in your closet) one too many times. This book offered the help I needed to get my living space in working order and so much more! Like a life-long friend, Keeley laughs you through a home overhaul....with a twist! By incorporating a little psychology (through a quick quiz)she offers helpful hints for your unique personality. Even if you actually have a place in your closet for your dirty clothes this book offers a great read, lots of understanding smiles and plenty of "laugh out loud" moments.

I loved this book. Keeley manages to get me excited about something that I absolutely loathe...cleaning and organizing my house! There is a test you take at the beginning of the book and that test determines your personality (me? I was the starry eyed dreamer). Then at the end of each of her chapters, she has homework for each personality. My favorite was her chapter on AS IS organizing and the ten minute tidy. If you have a problem keeping your home under control or if you just want to be better organized I would strongly suggest buying this book!
