Congratulations to Michelle who won the SHS drawing for March! Watch it live! For April I am giving away a copy of The Five Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me, signed just for you, you Lazy Organizer! Find out more about the drawing here.

I had such a great week last time that I had to have a terrible week this time to make up for it! No, it wasn't really terrible but I didn't do my paperwork habit one single time so guess what? I'll be trying it again this week. I do really well in the mornings. I get dressed, pickup and straighten my bedroom and bathroom and laundry room. Then I head into the kitchen and do any cleaning in there that I need to do. Then that is theoretically when I would head into my studio and do paperwork but somehow I get sidetracked by kid's stuff before then and never make it. I'm lucky if I can get the vacuuming done once I get the baby down for a nap. I suspect the real problem is just that I don't want to do it but I'm not officially admitting to anything.

Here are the habits I have been working on this year. Some of them are habits and some of them still need a lot of work but all of them have improved my life!

15 Minutes of paperwork a day
Have lunch ready by Noon
Turn Off Computer during chores
Become a Dresser, Playing games with my kids and reading my Church Magazine
Kitchen and studio clutter free
Clear Counters
Clear Desk
Review Planner
Daily Prayer
Clean Toilet
