More Info -------------------------------------- 1. Message of the Day - TRY SOMETHING NEW When you go to the supermarket, hardware store, home improvement store, or stores with organizing emphasis, slow down where organizing and cleaning products are displayed. Keep your eyes open at stores that have organizational products. Look at store flyers and catalogs. Some new products might be just what you need. Without buying indiscriminately, consider whether there are new products, or old products you have overlooked previously, that might spark a renewed interest in getting the job done. Ask yourself what is holding you back in making a change. Is it money? Is it habit? Have you just not thought about it? Messies Anonymous is all about change of habit, goals, and procedures. Throw open the windows of your mind and make a change for the better. -------------------------------------- 2. Habit of the Day - DO THINGS ASAP. EMPTY THE DISHWASHER as soon as possible after it is finished washing. A full dishwasher causes the sink to gather dishes. Yuck! Bad habit! Handle your mail today and every day. The daily build-up of mail and other papers is the single worst clutter problem. Walk to the trash can or recycle bin with the mail and discard when you first bring it in the house. -------------------------------------- 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 value each other and the contribution each makes. In our family, we keep our closets and drawers neat. -------------------------------------- 4. Quote of the Day "I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand, instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumbnail." Henry David Thoreau, (1817-1862) Philosopher, author, naturalist -------------------------------------- 5. Question of the Day What can you do that is new that will move you in the right direction?

From the Trenches - KEEPING THINGS Here is a reason I kept things that turned into clutter: It brought back feelings of love and acceptance. Things I had gotten from others that I never used but didn't want to part with. Looking at them made me feel special - that the person cared enough to go out and buy it for me. I think there was also a fear - fear that they would show up to my house and NOT see that particular item - how could I tell them that "I chucked it. "They might get offended and then they might not want to be my friend anymore (I was never secure in relationships). (Thanks to Carole for the insight.) -------------------------------------------- 9. More Info This is a simple program. We stick with the basics as they are presented in these messages. Keep reading.
