Thank you for your patience.** ----------------------------- 1. Message of the Day JUMP START YOUR DAY Your first activities in the morning influence how successful and productive your day will be. Do two things as soon as you get started with your activities. 1. First thing in the morning, accomplish one important project. Plan that project the day before so you will be ready to go early on. 2. Then knock off the low hanging fruit, that is, do those obvious things that are easy to do and can be accomplished quickly. When you jump-start your morning, you build momentum for the rest of the day! ---------------------------------- 2. Habit of the Day THIRTY SECOND RULE If it takes thirty seconds or less to do, do it immediately. ----------------------------- 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 put dirty clothes into the hamper as soon as we take them off. In our family, we put things back where we got them right away. ----------------------------- 4. Quote of the Day If you've made up your mind that you can do something, you're absolutely right. If you make up your mind you can organize, you will find a way. ------------------------------ 5. Did You Know? FOLLOW THE RULE OF TEN (THROW AWAY THINGS) Gather ten things to throw away. Get them in the trash immediately. Sometimes we give away things but today we are asked to just toss them out. Surely there are ten things that can hit the trash can today. ---------------------------------------- The NEW and IMPROVED K.I.S.S. (KEEP IT SUPER SIMPLE) Flipper is available! The K.I.S.S.

Question of The Day What new habit has made a change in your life? Tell us by posting on Friends-of-The-Organizer-Lady. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Friends-of-The-\ Organizer-Lady -------------------------- 7. From the Trenches from a MessieTalk member Laundry Years ago, I bought one of those laundry hampers that has three bins. It's been the best investment I ever made. When one of the sections (lights, darks, reds) reaches the top, it's a load, no matter what day it is! The kids (6 and 10) sort their own laundry, and I toss the baby's in there, too. We keep another hamper in the bathroom for whites (socks and underwear) so that I can bleach them. (Thanks to this sharing member.) Extra info from Sandra: If you are interested and can't find this three-in-one hamper in your locality, check out these catalogs for a variety of possibilities and prices. •• Get Organized at http://www.shopgetorganized.com or 1-800-803-9400 • The Container Store at http://www.containerstore.com or 1-800-733-3532 • Lillian Vernon Catalogs at http://www.lillianvernon.com or 1-800-545-5426 ----------------------------- 8.
