In I'm Right Here: 10 Ways to Get Help for Hoarding and Chronic Disorganization, Jill B. Yesko addresses chronic disorganization, linking it to brain-based challenges and hoarding. Yesko, a professional organizer, narrates her journey in the field, and presents her wide-ranging services, from in-person organizing to virtual coaching. She introduces her Clutter Quality of Life Scale, a self-assessment tool, offers support groups and classes, and provides resources on disorders like ADHD and OCD. She credits the surge of organizing businesses to reality TV shows and underlines the need for lasting, professional organizing strategies.

I'm Right Here by Jill B. Yesko is a resource for those who are interested in beginning their journey toward a more organized way of living, or those who care for someone in need of support, who might not know exactly where to start. Rather than simply providing the tools to organize a home, Yesko instead validates that the compulsion to hoard and chronic disorganization, which are two separate compulsions that often result in the same disorganization, is actually a mental health issue that requires more than just a one-off house tidying. Yesko's extensive experience in the industry gives readers an accurate series of ways to find help, working with the core issue of compulsion in tandem with resources on where to go, to begin with a clean slate. The book is easy to navigate, well-written, and straightforward, and I am certain it will be well-received by those who are ready to pick it up.
