What are ways that you may have developed to get things done or keep organized or to clean? I personally write down everything as soon as I think of it so I don't forget stuff like things to buy at the store or dates to remember or a to do list. Every Monday I try to keep it a day of cleaning everything in my house including the extra animal stuff. I do laundry and give my daughter a bath every other day sometimes everyday. I have a box where I throw all important paper work to file in and I organize it once a month or every other week depending.I kinda do all the extras as I see it needing attention. Bills I pay them as soon as they come in the mail or a week early just to make sure. Maybe this is an interesting topic or maybe a boring one...

Some things we have regular schedules for.

Some things we makes lists of until their is enough in common to do them efficiently.

Other things we do immediately.

When I approach a messy [room or garage] that I have to deal with I approach it with the I'm going to give it the best [15-30-60] minutes timeframe that I can give.

You would be surprised and amazed the headway that can be made in a measured time frame.

Me too I don't let it overwhelm me I just get in there and get it done. I don't stop until every corner is completed. A little off topic but I used to work for a cleaning company that dealt with fire and water damaged homes and I had to have that attitude because oh boy was it usually a disaster. One room could take hours or days. And yes Core I agree with always giving the thing needing attention time so it can be dealt with the right way so its never needed to be dealt with again. The old saying "fix it right the first time".
