    I starting attacking paper clutter yesterday. I read some of the reccomendations someone here gave. A "aha moment" has occurred. (I just never thought of this befor and it seems so obvious.)I must have a file for things worth keeping or to do. Instead of making a pile, I put it in a file and make a note on my "to do list" to go back to the file. I was leaving all the "to do papers" out and it was getting lost in a pile of papers. I'm going to limit "my read it sometime" to a basket full. I'm not sure if this will take care of it all, but it should get better. I'm feeling excited to possibly be more organized and less messy. I can hardly wait to get back to this tommorrow.

    LOL! love it. Flywashed by proxy smile

    I am taking part in the current super fling boogie and doing my bedroom. A lot of the stuff in there isn't mine, but I've done my bits and, yes, it is having an effect. A slow one, but still!

    I think that is really what I need to do in preparation for moving. Getting rid of the old to make way for new in my life.

    Awesome OTG! So glad you hear your plan.

    Today is Day 29: Set aside time to enjoy a Pamper Mission.

    Here's the link to flylady telling us what a great job we've done and how far we've come - worth a read:

    My pamper mission is a trip to a Meditation teacher on Saturday - I'm so excited.

    What pamper missions are on your 'to do' lists? We do deserve it!

    Thanks, it is a while until we move, but I wanted it to be sooner rather than later. I'm thinking of it as my way of telling the universe I'm ready to move on smile

    Look at your calendar for next month. Does anyone have a birthday? We forget to send cards and purchase gifts. Put this on your errand list so you can to buy cards and gifts on your errand day. To learn more about a Basic Weekly Plan; You don't have to start doing it yet. Just think about it.

    This sounds dreadful to me, but I'm going to go do it!
    One more babystep day - one more babystep day!!!

    I was doing a weekly plan... Okay. I'll think about it. But that's all I'm doing, LOL!

    Wow, only one day to go? That seems to have gone by so fast! Much better with others!

    TA DA!!!!
    We have reached DAY 31: I'm So Proud Of You!!!!

    Don't get bogged down by wanting to know everything about our system. As your clutter goes away you will find that you will have time to do the zone detailed cleaning, weekly home blessing hour and some of the fun things we do in our email and on the website. You don't have to see the top of the staircase to take the first step or the 30th step; you just need to keep FLYing!

    I am so proud of you!

    We did it! We did it! We did it - Yeah!!! I'm so proud of me and so proud of you! We don't have to see the top of the staircase to keep taking steps.

    I am proud of everyone who did any part of this experiment. I feel like it was much easier with all of you.

    Yippee!
