1. Message of the Day
Keep Britain Tidy
The "Keep Britain Tidy" campaign launched across the big pond is designed to encourage citizens to stop throwing their candy wrappers from the car or leaving their beer cans in parking lots.
Governments, both here and abroad, agree that neatness is necessary for a good quality of life. All citizens are expected to agree and the few who don't will be fined or at least glared at.
Cigarette smoke and clutter are alike in that they pollute another person's living space. Wherever people live in the same space, cluttering up someone else's visual space is impolite.
Think about how true this is. Change your own behavior or use it as you regard the behavior of others in your house. Maybe you will want to start your own campaign with slogans and signs around the house.

4. Family Reminder of the Day
In our family, we don't drop our things when we come in the door. We take them and put them where they belong.
In our family, we put dirty clothes into the hamper as soon as we take them off.

Set boundaries.
Determine your priorities, make sure you and others in your life respect what you are doing.
Keep those boundaries clear.

7. From the Trenches
It's ok to build "castles in the air". We just have to put a foundation under them. Fifteen minutes at a time. Baby Steps. I'm reclaiming my bedroom. I could have just wished for it or dreamed about how nice it would be. I am actually
doing it! The job looks overwhelming.
I broke it down into fifteen minute jobs. Already I can see it changing. I clear a spot. I clean that spot. I move on to the next spot. Yes, there will be lots of fifteen minute sessions to do. When I'm done, there will be my bedroom, all clear and clean, beautiful, inviting, well worth having and maintaining.
You can do it. Choose a spot. Do fifteen minutes. Just start!
