Unfortunately the book that you want by that other author is out of print and you have to search high and low for it.

Fortunately there is an online place which lets you construct one (I can't give the URL, but it's mentioned somewhere in the Forum).

Unfortunately my experience is the same as gollum's: I'm too disorganised to even know how to start to become organised.

Unfortunately, more useful titles such as "Getting Organised: (without doing anything!) " seem to be missing from the self-help section.
