This Book Will Make You More Serene and More Productive.......2006-01-11
Several years ago, my office disorganization had overwhelmed me. Rarely could I find what I wanted instantaneously--and sometimes I never found the missing items. Besides losing time, I was burning energy, especially as I became more frustrated.
Fortunately, I found a solution. I contracted Monica Ricci to spend a half-day in my office, and suggest the steps I should take to gain control of the massive information I had accumulated but not sorted. To my delight, the plan she devised served me well then, and still does.
That's why I was eager to read Organize Your Office. . .In No Time. I knew I would get additional tips that help me manage my office systematically. Already, I have underlined my favorite definitions and ideas. Examples:
"When organizing your life, remember that anything you can take a few extra seconds to do now, to help you remember or eliminate a step later, is always worth doing! It's always better to invest an extra tiny bit of work in the present because it will pay off down the road in time, money, headaches, or effort saved."
"Clutter is a collection of unrelated objects living together."
"Fear-based saving is a major cause of paper clutter for many people."
In addition to these specific gems, the book offers numerous helpful features: It is very well organized, which we expect from an organizational expert. The writing style is clear and often folksy, such as: "Imagine going into a supermarket, finding the canned food aisle, and discovering that none of the cans had labels." The illustrations, including photos, bring to life the products Ricci recommends.
Organize Your Office appeals to small business owners who work from a home office, and to executives with larger work spaces. The chapters on computer organization and how to streamline your travel will benefit even the most seasoned executives.
Readers will welcome the detailed suggestions, with pointers on the best organizing products to acquire and where to get them.
The time you invest in reading this book could revolutionize your work place, once you implement Ricci's action steps. Soon you will get more done more easily. Isn't that worth a few dollars and a few hours?The Complete Communicator: Change Your Communication-change Your Life!

Great Tips!.......2005-09-27
Great tips in this book, that can easily be picked out, even if just skimming through the pages. I like how the chapters are spelled out, written in a pleasant, "talking just to you" style. Monica Ricci breaks down the tasks into do-able chunks, allowing for the different types of people out there. She has a section, in the beginning, that helps one I.D. one's own type, and then uses each of those types throughout the book to suggest how best to deal with the different organizing challenges. I have read the whole thing, but find I continue to pick it up as a reference, using it as a guide as I tackle the next office organizing challenge! It's a keeper.
Great Read!.......2005-09-21
I was looking for something to help me organize my office. As owner of a busy company, I need all the help I can get in keeping things straight. This book was recommended to me by a friend and it was exactly what I was lookging for.
I found it to be very easy to read and easy to implement. The structure of the book was organized (go figure) which helped me fit it into my busy schedule and start implementing recommendations immediately. "Organize Your Office in No Time" is filled with great ideas and easy to understand tips and tricks for organizing my workspace and I highly recommend it.

Exceptionally Valuable Advice.......2005-09-21
I just bought "Organize Your Office In No Time", and have already gotten so much valuable advice from it. This book is a pleasure to learn from, it is so well organized and provides ideas for people with offices of all sizes.
This book is so different from all the other organizing books I've read because it offers "real-world" practical advice -- concepts that relate to the specific personality and work style of the reader. It contains a wide variety of organizing systems that will be easy to create and maintain, allowing you to spend less time looking for things and much more time being productive.
As a busy entertainer and motivational speaker, my office is full of job records, information, and promotional material. I've always struggled with a way to organize all this information in an easy-to-locate manner, and constantly look for effective methods that are easy to maintain.
There are so many great tips and tricks, and a wide variety of advice in this book that it will certainly resonate with every businessperson - from entrepreneurs with small home offices to executives with fancy corner offices. This book is a modern and effective business tool that will surely help anyone streamline their office furniture, equipment, storage methods (electronic and paper), processes and procedures.

the perfect overview book for INtro to Constru Class.......2000-11-02
This book is wonderful in its content. I especially like the way it chapeters separate into the overview (sorta History) and then the players and then the process and then communications. It has very good examples of things like specifications and partial drawings. it has exmple questions. it has very good charts and lists. But what I liked the most is the balanced portrayal of the players such as which contract method is preferred by say the architect and which most benefits the Construction Manager. We are using it for our Intr to Constr Tech Class. Saves me from copying info from several dif sources.

Good undergraduate Civil Engineering Estimation Textg.......2007-09-18
Good undergraduate book civil engineering estimation class. Used for a graduate course and felt it was not as challenging as it should have been for graduate level (I personally feel that graduate work should be very rigorous). The drawings in the back were too small (8 1/2 X 11) to be useful and should have been provided on a CD or on line so they could be printed full or quarter sized (tabloid, 11X17). I received the drawings, however some of the students and the instructor did not receive the drawings with the book.

Book Description
An award-winning architect shares his expertise on residential design with fellow professionals and prospective home builders
Alfredo De Vido has risen to the top of the residential design profession by creating homes that are as well-designed as they are cost-effective. Now, in this invaluable guide, written for architects as well as consumers who are thinking about building a new home, he reveals his secrets for successful residential design, from determining budgets and expectations to identifying important aspects of a home's livability, such as privacy, thermal comfort, and safety.

Customer Reviews:
A real architect speaks.......2003-03-06
Not just any architect, but a celebrated one, whose houses have been collected into books. This book is written for other architects. Except for the the last section on construction management, its advice surprisingly differs little from the run of the mill wisdom--consider the site, the needs of the client, etc.--found in those Not So Big books, although the writing is more economical. More stiff, too, but that's okay. The occasional pictures--many of his own projects--are only B/W, but that suits the more formal tone of the book. A big plus is in the appendix: very detailed plans for a couple of his houses.
