I first read “The Lesson of the Chopsticks” and must say that I was not disappointed reading “How to Keep Life’s Small Problems from Becoming Big Ones”! Ms.Greenlee’s unique view of life’s everyday challenges is one we all can identify with on some level.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is in need of a boost to handle procrastination and prioritizing. Ms. Greenlee’s uncovers a profound truth using vivid illustrations and metaphors to convey her point and shift us out of our “comfort zone”. And, it’s a LOT CHEAPER THAN THERAPY!

This charmingly simple book spoke volumes to me about the dangers of a disorganized life, and brought to mind several practical applications. If I don’t hang up my clothes every night, my bedroom is soon an unworkable mess. If I don’t take care of my mail (and other paperwork) diligently and often, it soon becomes overwhelming, and I can’t find that piece of paper I really need. If I don’t spot-clean the kitchen and baths (almost) every day, things get disgusting quite quickly, and germs can grow. And the list could go on. It’s so refreshing to see a simple, highly useful truth presented in such an engaging way, and I look forward to the next “lesson.” Way to go, Gina!

I’d be the first to say that this not the kind of book I would typically pick up to sit down with. But I’m glad I did. The Lesson of the Paper Clips is creative, clever and makes a great point. I’ve given it to several friends not only for the lesson it imparts but because it is simply fun. I recommend you hookup with this book.

A very creative way of helping us to reflect on how procrastination adds to our “things to do” rather than eliminate them. Definitely a book to keep at your desk as a constant reminder to keep small things from becoming big ones.

This book is wonderful insight into the walls and boxes we build for ourselves. Its short enought to read in ten minutes or long enough to read in ten days. It will be readable forever as a reminder to keep yourself from coming to a grinding halt. Fresh with unique insights to ourselves. Put it on your list!
