In addition to simplifying your cleaning products, simplify your house.
Don't introduce hard-to-clean surfaces into your life.

1. Message of the Day
SHARING OURSELVES
One of the most satisfying aspects of our humanness is sharing ourselves with others. Our spirits find fulfillment when we connect in meaningful ways with family, friends, and others. But when we are ashamed about our clutter, we isolate ourselves both as individuals and in our homes.
When our lives clear up, we are happily able to open up in a new way. That renewed connectedness is one of the wonderful spin-offs of the changes we make in Messies Anonymous.

No more hunting for your shoes when you need them.

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.

7. From the Trenches
PLANS AND PROGRESS
My mom was a messie too and she passed away last year so I have 2 houses to dejunk. I have 2 messie teenagers and I used to think that the kids were the problem before I read and started working on Sandra's suggestions. Putting junk in Banker's Boxes helped me a lot because out of sight, out of mind, soon I'll have the will to file it. decide where it should go, or just throw it out! And in the meantime some glorious space has emerged that once was cluttered.
The Take-offs and Landings have helped a lot, too. Whenever I can get 1 or both of my kids to do a 10-minute tidy, I feel like I've accomplished a lot in just a little time and effort. It also reinforces the awareness for me of little jobs that can be done and teaches my kids that they can make a difference
without me nagging them or assigning chores.
Thanks to a Mom on the Moms and Mentors forum at

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.
