1. IDEAS FOR TODAY
KEEP YOUR PLANS SIMPLE
SIMPLE-basically means to search for the real heart of the matter. Then determine what few actions are the significant ones to accomplish what is really
meaningful in our lives.
This is particularly true when we are busy making significant changes in our house. It is easy to become distracted with mindless activities. But most people
find that the real pleasure is found when they take time for basic significant verities.
Opportunities are too many. We can't do them all. Time, energy, and money limit us. But we can spot the high points and work those well.
Narrow your focus in order to expand your enjoyment.
--------------------------------------
2. Habit of the Day
FINISH WHAT YOU START
Just for today, do not leave a job until you have
completed the job AND put everything away.
-----------------------------------
3. Family Reminder of the Day
Pick one of these reminders or make one of your own to share with your family each day.
In our family, we make sure all trash goes into the trash basket.
In our family, we value each other and the contribution each makes.
In our family, we keep our closets and drawers neat.
-----------------------------------
4. Quote of the Day
Space is not something to fill with beauty.
Space is beauty.
We need to learn to be comfortable with empty spaces.Resist the urge to fill up every unfilled spot.Learn to tolerate and then to enjoy the void.
-----------------------------------

6. From the Trenches by Frances, a Messie
The best thing I have done so far - I bought myself a timer - and I work, 15 minutes here and there and then do paper work for a spell. This timer must be one of the keys to this program. Today I put away a storage box of quilts and blankets. Up until now it has all been decluttering.
-----------------------------------
7. More Info
This is a simple program. We stick with the basics as they are presented in these messages. Keep reading. Keep adding one part of the program at a time.
Repetition is important. Forward to friends if desired but not to other sites. Read this whole posting or only what you can take in today, then delete it.

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.
