Knowing every woman desires to reduce the mess and stress in her life, Marcia Ramsland offers a grace-oriented approach to organizing a home and life. Filled with specific ideas that have been proven true, charts, diagrams, and real life examples, Marcia unveils her trademark PuSH philosophy. PuSH stands for Projects, user-friendly Systems, and Habits and is a sequence of doing things that will help women get and stay organized.

Things the reader will discover:

• The "two minute pickup" for cleaning any room

• Five steps to clean any room


• How to create a Personal Organizing Center

Simplify Your Life encourages and motivates women to be a better manager in three major areas: her time, her home, and her life. A prayer at the end of each chapter is a fresh reminder that how we live our lives is important to God.
So does God care if your bathroom is clean or your desk is tidy? Of course not but He knows it does give you peace of mind and less stress. His Word is filled with principles to help us live more organized and less stress-filled lives. Join Marcia as she incorporates those principles into practical tips to organize and simply your life!
