Dust the baseboards in one room in your home.

My 18-year old daughter, Amanda, always texts me at least one message from school when she has a break. It's very sweet and I love getting these tiny tidbits. Last week, this is the message I received...

'I won a flesh eating microbe!'

That particular text made me laugh. Amanda, who is getting ready to enter college this coming fall, is embarking on a medical path. She's taking a whole bunch of medical courses at the high school in preparation and she won a challenge in her Medical Interventions class.

As you can imagine, we've been very busy helping her prepare for her college days ahead. We live in Wisconsin and she's actually going to be traveling all the way to the east coast, going to school in New York. Between all the financial paperwork, orientation, checklists of what she'll need in her dorm, details about her coursework...never mind all the excitement of her high school prom and graduation this spring...there is a whole lot going on here.

That being said, we're taking it one small step at a time, and checking off each item one by one. I'm even thinking about writing a book about this experience. There's certainly enough to say.

Whenever you have a huge project to do, take a deep breath. That's definitely the most important step. Because getting overwhelmed isn't going to help anything. Be sure you take a lot of notes, make a file folder for each major topic to keep everything in order and together, and checklists are your friend. Trust me...without them, something can easily be forgotten.

With patience, humor, and your organizing skills, you can start, manage, and complete any project that comes your way!

P.S. If you want more happiness in your heart, be sure you're adding a bunch of 'happiness actions' into your life. You'll find those happiness actions in my resource, Happy for Life!

For super quick details on how you can say goodbye to clutter, visit:

All people have clutter to some degree. You may have a little. You may have a ton. MOST people are somewhere right in the middle.

For anyone who has clutter, have no doubt in your mind that CLUTTER GROWS. Small clutter challenges soon turn into large clutter issues.

Plus, clutter is sneaky...it doesn't only show up in the pile of shoes you may have in your closet, the overload of toys in the toy room, the boxes of stuff in the basement, or the stuffed-to-the-max drawers and closets in your home. Clutter can actually invade your life in FOUR forms...

1. Physical Clutter
2. Paper Clutter
3. Digital Clutter
4. Emotional Clutter

Once clutter is here, it begins to wreak all sorts of havoc...

There is only one way to get rid of clutter...and that is by using a proven- effective clutter-removing system. Only then will you be able to face clutter head-on and have the clutter-free life you deserve.
