yay on photos on list to do and on making your delicious pie
I like many different sources for inspiration regarding house work
I loved pam and peggy's humour and that they didn't want to be perfect but just family supportive. I loved their idea of Focus and the card file works for ADHD mind.
CEO I like that she focuses the holidays but sometimes her work in each area before Christmas is too overwhelming for me. I take what I can use and make it smaller. I do believe that P & P saying that Christmas is not the time to tear apart the house for heavy cleaning is true. (Dailies and weeklies and focus is a good thing but not to be carried away especially with real life). Her Christmas is so helpful and her ideas for jobs is extremely useful. I always liked her.
Flylady - I like that she has changed from doing so many emails and jobs to keeping it simple - It was really too much plus I always feel like I am being sold something. I do like that her focuses have been smaller and doable. I do think her baby steps is important and her clean sink is important.
again that all goes back to Pam and Peggy - do dishes, dinner and duds while your are in hot water.
I think having this site and the cards has helped me the most. I never feel alone when I fall of the proverbial house hold mess cliff and I don't see myself as a failure (especially since I am surrounded by extreme Born organized individuals who believe in just doing it or getting rid of everything. I am also surrounded by amazing goal driven successful people who I admire but wonder how they do it all - they just do
)
