1. Message of the Day
RHYME OF THREE
Don't Despair
Really Care
Be Aware
The house, office, or car is in disarray and your efforts seem puny as you try to tackle the job.
DON'T DESPAIR - Feeling overwhelmed with all you have to do? This pile, that surface, the bedroom, or whatever clutter is in your life. Take heart. With a plan so you know where to begin and how to continue, step by step your house or office will begin to clear up almost like magic.
REALLY CARE - Lethargy is the greatest hindrance to progress. It is not that we don't care. Obviously we do. We wish. We hope. We do care up to a point. But we don't care with the intensity required to get us up and at the job. To become more intense, take a new step. Invite someone over to help you. Join a group on http://messies.com/index.php/groups and make a commitment about your plans. Get an MA Clutter Buddy with whom you communicate by phone, email, instant messaging, or whatever. Post pictures of your ideal home. These things will help you become more passionate about clear surfaces.
BE AWARE - Wake up visually. Consciously tune in to the things around you. Noticing what is around does not come naturally to disorganized folks. Cup your hand into a spy glass or use an empty paper tube to lock in visually. Things you were overlooking will pop out at you.
These three actions will transform your house.

PLAN! PLAN! PLAN! - Messies tend to do things at the last minute. Some seem to focus better when they are under pressure. Perhaps it is the adrenaline rush of stress that helps. Instead, try more and more to plan ahead, a little at a time. Extend the length of time you plan ahead as you get better at it.

4. Family Reminder of the Day
In our family, we value each other and the contribution each makes.
In our family, we keep our closets and drawers neat.
--------------------------------------
5. Quote of the Day
"Housework is so tedious. You do the dishes, make the beds, and three weeks later you have to do it all over again."
Unknown
Sometimes a little levity helps.

7. From the Trenches
RUBIK CUBE
Life is a Rubik Cube, you can't chose or move one thing without moving everything else.
You have to take a look at the cube and find the level of cleanliness that puts the most pieces into place: depending where your life is -- that can vary.

MESSIES ANONYMOUS SLOGAN
Please memorize this slogan and post it on your wall.
The secret to success is making very small, yet very consistent, changes.
Or to make it short; Baby steps, baby steps in the right direction.
Never underestimate the inevitability of gradualness.
