Thank you for your patience.** ------------------------------ 1. Message of the Day - TO DO LIST DE-STRESS YOUR LIFE One of the things that keeps us stressed out is carrying around too much information in our minds. Many of those are things we need to remember to do, call, write, buy, or whatever. They may be just little things but they are important parts of a big picture. Walk on the peaceful side of the street. Get those things down on paper and you can relax, knowing you won't forget. Print a copy now of my To-Do list by clicking on the link below. It is in a pdf form that you can easily print at home. http://www.messies.com This idea and all of the helpful reminders are in the "Part Two" list found at http://www.messies.com ---------------------------- 2. Habit of the Day HELP IT GO HOME - After you create a home for your belongings, make sure your item is not allowed to stop when it is out until it reaches its home. Put up the scissors, keys, checkbook, purse, and all the other things that tend to want to stop on the way to their home. If you know the song “Get Along Little Doggie”, sing that as you do. Others may prefer the song from the Beatles which has the words, Go home Get back, get back Back to where you once belonged. You get the idea! ----------------------------------- Reminder: You can edit your membership at Yahoo Groups home page https://groups.yahoo.com/neo or to unsubscribe, click on the word "unsubscribe" at the very bottom of this post if it arrived in your email inbox ---------------------------------------- 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 don't leave things out just because we plan to get back to the project later. In our family, we wash, dry, fold, and put up our clothes as one continuous job. ----------------------------------- 5. Quote of the Day "When I face the desolate impossibility of writing five hundred pages a sick sense of failure falls on me and I know I can never do it. This happens every time. Then gradually I write one page and then another. One day's work is all I can permit myself to contemplate and I eliminate the possibility of ever finishing." John Steinbeck, Travels with Charlie. Don't try to look ahead. Just focus on doing one planned job after another one day at a time. You may think you can never finish. But, like Steinbeck, you will. --------------------------------------- 6. Question of the Day How are you keeping your dream alive? Have you written it down? Do you have a picture from a magazine? Do you have a photo of your house at its best to keep you on track? Do you need to order the motivational CD, Create Your Dream and Live It? Listen to it every day and the way you think about your home will change. http://www.messies.com Tell us on Friends-of-The-Organizer-Lady. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Friends-of-The-Organizer-Lady ----------------------------------- 7. From the Trenches by a Messie - HABITS When I thought about the question about habits, I figured out that each day when I get up and make my bed, even though it sounds rather silly, it really has made an impact because right from the start I feel as if I am accomplishing something in the house. The other thing I have made a habit is setting the dining room table for the next meal as soon as we finish eating. It prevents the table from getting cluttered with "stuff" and is attractive as we go through the room during the day and evening. It always looks welcoming I guess is what I am trying to say. ------------------------------- 8. MORE INFORMATION This is a simple program.
