Turn everyday household chaos into lasting order with a simple, guilt-free system built for the chronically disorganized.

The SLOB Sisters are back after the phenomenal success of Sidetracked Home Executives (750,000 paperback copies sold), with a new program for organizing your home and personal life.

Drawing on fifteen years of trial and error, authors Pam Young and Peggy Jones replace overwhelming chore lists with a streamlined index card file. The revamped system condenses household chores into twenty targeted action cards and a flexible seven-day weekly plan designed to honor busy routines.

From room-by-room dejunking sessions to the family Infraction game, this practical guide offers realistic strategies that turn daily maintenance into shared teamwork.

• Home Organization: Build a command center of color-coded 3x5 index cards that separate daily tasks from seasonal maintenance, including morale-boosting Reason for Living cards.
• Time Management: Structure each week across seven balanced themes—from focused Desk and Go-fer Days to dedicated Play Days—to keep paperwork, supply runs, and leisure from colliding.
• Decluttering: Tackle closets, cupboards, and junk drawers in one-hour timed increments using heavy-duty produce boxes to sort possessions into Give Away, Storage, and Put Away.
• Daily Practices: Establish simple household rules like the twenty-one-day habit shift, clearing dining surfaces for actual meals, and setting kitchen timers to beat the clock on routine chores.
• Family Cooperation: Curb household messes with the Infraction game using fluorescent dots, alongside a minute-by-minute point chart that lets kids trade completed chores for privileges.
