The other day she sent out an email with her “11 Commandments” and I’ve pasted them below for my reference…

11 Commandments

1.Keep your sink clean and shiny!

2.Do your Before Bedtime Routine EVERY NIGHT

3.Do your Morning routine EVERY DAY RIGHT WHEN YOU GET UP.

4.Don’t allow yourself to be sidetracked by the computer

5.Pick up after yourself. IF YOU GET IT OUT PUT IT AWAY WHEN FINISHED

6.Don’t try to do two projects at once. ONE JOB AT A TIME.

7.Do something for yourself everyday, maybe even every morning and night.

8.Work as fast as you can to get a job done. This will give you more time to play later.

9.Smile even when you don’t feel like it. It is contagious.

10. Make your mind up to be happy and you will be.

11. Pamper yourself, you deserve it.

These are a few rules that keep my life sane and quiet the storm in my
head. Thanks for joining our cyber-family. My sincere hope is that
you will take some of these tricks to help you get your home in the
shape that you desire.
