Message of the Day Organized House, Organized Mind? Is it true that if you organize your surroundings, your mind will become more organized? In some respects, yes. Here's how: When your house or office is more organized - you become calmer and less scattered because you are less stressed by adrenaline. - your more organized belongings make it possible for you to move forward more easily with your projects and puts your mind under less pressure. - eventually you will get more organizational confidence and be willing to take on projects which will help you develop more skills. - you will apply learned organizing skills successfully to more and more areas of your life and say to yourself, Oh, that's how those organized people have been doing it all along! What power! Don't expect to become a total organizational genius as you get your house under control. Do expect to become much more productive with less effort. And that ain't half bad. -------------------------------------- 2. Did You Know? The NEW and IMPROVED K.I.S.S.

I'm making so much progress and am so proud of myself! My DH and I have been having breakfast together every morning since I'm getting up before my family. Our 2 yr. old DD still sleeps late, so that's our "couple time" and it makes all the difference. I fix him a "good" (read fattening) breakfast and I eat my healthy cereal; we do our devotion from our marriage-devotional bible and read several chapters together; we go over what we have scheduled for our day (my chores and errands, and his workload). I am so happy with the progress of my home as well. The kitchen looks fabulous and I haven't had a single dirty dish in my sink in over a week! They go straight into the dishwasher. It's so easy. Why has it taken me so long to figure out? Yesterday, I spent 15 minutes in mine and DD's shared walk-in closet. It was by far the worst room in the house. I started by organizing the shoes, DD's on her side and mine on my side. Then I picked up all of the clothes off of the floor and put them in the dirty laundry which, by the way I finished before 8 o'clock this morning. I only spent 15 minutes in there, but it already looks presentable! I'm so excited about getting my entire house decluttered and peaceful for the first time ever! I might treat myself to my favorite lunch today, Japanese. Hope my progress motivates you all. If I can do it, anyone can! (Thanks to Rachel W.) ---------------------------------------------- 10.
