1. Message of the Day
BEHAVIOR
When you pick up one end of the stick you automatically pick up the other.
That means: When you choose the behavior you automatically choose the consequences as well.
The condition of your house today is the result of your daily repeated choices. If your house is not changing, it is because you are not changing --- enough.
I've got good news for you. You can behave yourself to success. You don't have to wait to feel different or think different. All you need to do is act right and the house will be right. The internal change you need to continue will automatically occur with each decision to do the right thing.

Put forth one little extra ounce of effort. To stop short of finishing what you should do repeatedly will lead to repeated clutter. Don't do that to yourself.
When you feel like stopping short, don't.
Go just a little further and finish each job.
------------------------
4. Family Reminder of the Day
In our family, we write what we need on the white board.
In our family, we move the garbage cans out of sight when they are emptied at the curb.
------------------------
5. Quote of the Day
To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming is the only end of life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
-----------------------
6. Question of the Day
Do you have a chronic habit of leaving things out until you return to the project? Choose one area in which you will begin to return items rather than leave them out to be used later.
Remember: STOW AS YOU GO!

7. From the Trenches
POT PILEUP
The newest habit that I have been able to incorporate has been to wash the pots and pans as soon as I empty them. I used to empty the food from them, and then let them sit on the stove. The food would dry to a hard crust, which would take ten times as long to clean whenever I "got around to it". If I can't wash them out right away, I immediately fill them with soapy water to prevent the food from caking on. Then I try to get to it before the night is over (I rarely wait until the next day - seems that when the water gets cold and the grease floats to the top, I am less motivated to wash it than when it's full of hot, sudsy water). This one simple habit has been a life saver for me - the rewards are so great that I feel it is less pain to clean them NOW, while it's easy, then the pain of waiting until LATER and discovering that the pot I needed to use right at that moment is dirty.
My once infamous "pots & pans pileup" is now a thing of my past.
Little habits can make the biggest differences!
