Instead of spring and fall cleaning, which overwhelms me and doesn't get done, I'm working my way through the house with one cleaning project per day. Each day, I choose one shelf, drawer, window, or section to super-clean. It only takes about ten minutes, and I'm keeping track of the list, so I can start at the beginning again, once I get it all cleaned.

Thank you for the wonderful idea zballoongirl! You have given me hope and inspiration to accomplish the task! I really like the list idea and am starting that today. Having done nothing but webpages all day, I guess I had better get started. Maryanne
I know what you mean about being overwhelmed. I have put my tasks to work for me on my outlook. Every time I clean something; change sheets, clean fridge, vacuum, etc. I put it on the tasks list of my outlook and then do a recurrence. This way when I check my email in the morning a reminder will come up to let me know what I have to do today.
Great ideas! I have let clutter and disorganization get the better of me! I really need to do something but it all seems overwhelming. I would feel very good just to get a few things done ea day rather than try to tackle it all! Also I just discovered this freecycle.org (check to be sure that's the right website).
