Life is Good, So Is Home

Messies came out with such inspiring tips that it makes me active and stop procrastination.

===========

Life is good, too good to be spending it grappling with junk (oh, I mean valuable items of memories and potential treasures that other people may think are junk.) Whether we call these items junk or not, they are junking up our lives. That is the important thing we need to consider.

Life is good. Our focus should be on enjoying our family and friends,on doing what makes us happy and helps others, on living a satisfying life full of grace and beauty, and of developing our spiritual lives.

Slow down a little. Breathe deeply. Think of what is really important to you. Dejunk your desires to keep too much. Loosen your grip on those ideas and feelings that keep you in the messy zone. Leaving petty interests behind, seek higher dreams until you find yourself saying, "Yes, my life really is good. It's really good!"

If I change my thinking, I will change my feelings.
If I change my feelings, I will change my actions.
If I change my actions, I will change my life.

from The Messies Manual

"When I face the desolate impossibility of writing five hundred pages a sick sense of failure falls on me and I know I can never do it. This happens every time. Then gradually I write one page and then another. One day's work is all I can permit myself to contemplate and I eliminate the possibility of never finishing."

-- John Steinbeck, Travels with Charlie

**Don't look at the whole big job. Just concentrate on one day at a time.

New Habit of the Day - MAINTAIN AS YOU GO

Keep short accounts on putting things up as you work.As you cook, wash and dry your pots, pans, etc. or put them in the dishwasher as you go.

As you do a project, keep your tools and pieces corralled and put them away immediately.

When you clean, return cleaning products and tools immediately. Otherwise you will leave more mess behind than you clean up.
