When getting up to a fairly clean house and I am more motivated to keep it nice then if I have to spend all morning cleaning up from the day before. I think organization is really all about maintenance. Not letting things get too crazy works best for me.You have to really want it and then do the work. It is actually easier to have the routine than to go about it haphazardly. Good habits help. The one thing that can completely derail me is the computer because I love to write early in the morning. Most days I try to get the other stuff done first. Make the bed first thing, put laundry in after showering and dressing, pickup. I like everything to be fairly orderly then it opens my mind to being more creative. I empty the waste baskets and then go to the computer. It doesn't take too long to get it all done and it starts the day off pretty well. I have found that a good night time routine helps make the morning easier.
