The Backstory

How did you find that? That was the question my neighbor asked a few years ago when she needed help reviving a crashed computer. I told her I'd be over in a few minutes but needed to grab a diagnostic disk (okay, so it was more than a few years ago). When I arrived at her door a few minutes later as promised my neighbor was shocked - wide eyes, gaping mouth shocked. She pointed to the disk in my hand and said, "How did you find that?"

At first her confusion didn't register with me. What did she mean, how did I find that? Then I entered her home and understood. She was living in chaos. There were piles everywhere. Clean or dirty, it was hard to tell. There were shopping bags filled with clothes in a corner, piles of papers and unopened mail. The bed was not made, and her laundry was heaped on the mattress. She could not find a thing she owned in her own small apartment, and she needed help.

The answer to her question, How Did You Find That? is in this book.
