Message of the Day YES, OTHERS Some may remember a hymn from long ago that repeated this refrain -- "Others, Lord, yes others." Many believe in the importance of that motto. You may be one of them. Modern medical experiments have confirmed how important it is for us to shift our focus from ourselves and reach out with a loving touch to those around us. Doing this increases our immune response and psychological well-being. One reason, but not the only reason, for getting the clutter out of our lives is so it will free us up to do what we can do to lovingly touch those in our area of contact. Organize yourself with this purpose. As the old song says, "Others -- Let this our motto be." -------------------------------------- 2. Did You Know? The NEW and IMPROVED K.I.S.S.

Habit of the Day Put shoes on at the beginning of every day AND put them in the closet at the end of the day. - No more tripping over them because they are lying on the floor. - No more limitations like not taking the trash out because "I don't have my shoes on." - No more shoes sitting in the living room or around the house. - No more feeling like you are not really ready to work. -------------------------------------- 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. -------------------------------------- 5. Quote of the Day "Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all." Dale Carnegie -------------------------------------- 6. Question of the Day How are you going to accomplish one important goal? Tell us by posting on Friends-of-The-Organizer-Lady. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Friends-of-The-Organizer-Lady -------------------------------------- 7. From the Trenches STANDARDS My new revelation is that as I get less messy my standards have risen. I'm no longer satisfied with "fewer piles" - I now want NO PILES! I'm no longer satisfied by vacuuming every week - I now want to vacuum whenever there is something messing up my newly beautiful space! I'm no longer satisfied with having ONE room that is presentable to guests - I'm ready to have a whole house ready for anyone - even Mother-In-Law! And I am actually getting close to that reality! Thanks for your help and for the realization that part of the work is in raising my standards, not just making one step. And that it doesn't really take much time each day, it just takes consistency.
