- Wow! Great lens you created here... I love it! Very informative, helpful and inspiring. I consider myself to be well organized and a clean freak... however, learned a few new things I can do to improve on my organizing/ cleaning abilities. Thank you! My personal favorite method for motivation is a simple one... I find a way to reward myself first (usually some vice like a cigarette, some chocolate, or maybe a glass of my favorite wine)... I vision myself enjoying the guilty pleasure for awhile... then I say out loud to myself, "Once you finish this .... you can treat yourself to... (whatever you want). I find the chore is much easier and enjoyable, knowing there is a reward awaiting me. I also complete the task much quicker! 5 stars and a new favorite as I will have to come back often... thanks again.

- I'm so excited that your friend the FlyLady and I are on the same page about setting a timer and working for just fifteen minutes a pop to get organized. That's what I decided to do on New Year's Day when I made up my mind to have a clutter-free home by NYD 2010. You have some very good suggestions here.

- I find that if I don't keep on top of things, they get out of control real fast. There's just no happy medium for me, and clutter drives me crazy and I'm so germ-conscious, so I make it a point to keep on top of it. Nice job with the lens. Great links.

- Very useful lens. The way ones home looks and feels is a direct reflection upon how healthy ones mind is, so it follows that to grow, one must start at home. Getting the home clean and organized is very powerful, far-reaching stuff.

- A truly amazing lens and wonderful presentation. I would like to add here that an important key to getting things organised is to avoid multitasking by way of delegation and focussing on single assignments. This I believe can be achieved by outsourcing a large part of our household chores and freeing up time for tasks requiring undivided perssonal attention. Outsourcing being a fad these days, we can outsource anything from cleaning our house, to event management and more.
