Organizing doesn’t always have to be a huge day long production. I’m sure we’ve all learned through the podcasts that getting organized is an ongoing process, you don’t have to be perfect just keep at it.

If your clutter is keeping you up a night, we suggest taking FIVE! That’s right… take 5 minutes right now and clean up ONE cupboard in your kitchen, or one drawer in your dresser. One space, Five minutes…easy peasy. Now go set the timer, and don’t get sucked into doing more. This is your five minute fix then pat yourself on the back and do something else, enjoy your family, read an extra book to the kiddos, take a bubble bath, and be proud.

Let us know what your “5 Minute Fix” was today (mine is under my kitchen sink!) - Daria

This week we are continuing to talk about our New Year’s Resolutions for 2008. I thought it would be appropriate to talk about the greatest thing you can do to support your new and tidy ways this year! This idea is pretty simplistic, but I assure you that it will start your days off much better and brighter. Are you ready for it?

Make sure your house, specifically your kitchen is tidy before you go to bed (that’s it).

Sometimes when you are so tired, it is really tempting to go to bed and deal with it in the morning, but there is nothing better than waking up to a tidy house!! It is always worth the effort and makes your day so much brighter, and you can be so much more efficient when you accomplish this. You can deal with the start of a new day fresh - without dealing with yesterday’s mess! You will love the rewards of this minimal effort each evening. Please feel free to share your thoughts, challenges or triumph’s in this area. Good luck!
