Humm, I came out:

While your life isn't ruled by your possessions, you could use an organizing tune up. Did you know it takes 21 consecutive days of repeating an action to make it a habit? Why not make a list of positive habits you'd like to develop and tackle one at a time? A few good organizational habits that make life easier are:

Making the bed every day

Putting your keys in the same place every time you get home

Taking out the garbage every day

Never leaving dirty dishes in the sink, and never leaving clean ones on the drain boardMaster these simple tasks, and the energy in your home will make a major shift for the good.

LOL, well at least I do DO the simple tasks...

**In Control**

Go to the head of the class! You have obviously learned how to part with things that you simply don't need anymore. Not many people can say this! Why not try assisting someone close to you in her quest to get more organized? It's a skill you seem to have mastered. Keep in mind that the best way to teach is by example -- a person who is drowning in a sea of stuff probably won't appreciate your lecturing them. Addiction to stuff is a real addiction, and changing that requires a gentle touch.

Now some of it is even true, LOL

Well, I FLUNK the closet test, and they never asked about drawers.

I TRY to be organized because I HATE clutter, & the garage is a major source

of *discord* around this house. Jimmy would absolutely answer *fits me to a

tee* to EVERY question!
