1. Message of the Day
IN A TIMELY FASHION
You are undoubtedly a hard working person who works diligently doing the many jobs that are required around the house. They are things like:
- Washing, drying, folding and putting away the laundry
- Unloading and loading the dishwasher
- Putting up and/or filing papers
- Discarding useless stuff
- Various cleaning chores.
One of the characteristics of those of us who are Messies is we let things remain undone just a l-i-t-t-l-e bit too long (or maybe a lot too long) before we get around to doing them. More organized folks get around to doing things much more quickly than we do. Maybe one of the things we can do to get our organization train back on track and moving forward is just to hop to doing each job just as quickly as we can.

You may have noticed that the
new and improved KISS Flipper is now available for purchase on the Messies website again.
We have completely re-packaging this helpful tool!
The Keep It Super Simple Flipper concept remains the same. It still has helpful and fun job cards, but it is repackaged into a smaller overall size and at a better price!!
And, probably the best news is that you don't have do anything at all to set it up. It is completely ready to use as soon as you take it out of the mailer!
Wow!! Great News!!
JUST DO IT - Do not wait till you feel like it.
Just move your body through the motions like a robot if that is all you can do. Face the fact that some things do not inspire. It is nice to want to. But do not wait for the humor to hit you. Just do it.

4. New 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 don't make messes or create work for others.
In our family, we don't boss others. We focus on our own responsibilities.

5. New Quote of the Day
J.P. Morgan said,
"A man always has two reasons for doing anything -- a good reason and the real reason."
This is also true of not doing things. You have good reasons for not getting them done. But what is the real reason?

7. From the Trenches
INSIGHTS ABOUT WHY I KEPT MY STUFF
I never learned nor had a feel for "what should be thrown away" and "what should be kept." I was afraid of throwing something out because I was sure that as soon as I did, I would "need it". I still have a problem with tossing metal juice lids from frozen juice, and bottled water bottles. It took a L-O-N-G time to get to that point (but I did!).
I felt overwhelmed and powerless - mentally frozen and physically exhausted just thinking about it. I just couldn't bring myself to deal with doing all this cleaning and de-cluttering. It was too much for me, so I avoided it by "scrubbing cracks with a toothpick" to make myself feel that I accomplished something while ignoring the "real problem."
From Sandra: We face these ideas so we can challenge them.
(Further thanks to Carol for her insights.)
