Tackle A Pile

Cindy at Cindy's Porch (http://www.cindysporch.com/) a couple times a month sponsors "Tackle a Pile Tuesday." You look around your home, find a pile of papers/bills/laundry/clutter and eliminate it. I'm not always able to participate, but the other day I had my own "Tackle a Pile Day" and was quite productive! The pile of laundry - done! The pile of papers/samples/mail on my desk - gone! The pile of more papers/mail/coupons on the dining room table - gone! The pile of coupons - filed! The pile of dirty dishes - washed and put away! I even got chocolate chip muffins and jello made and collaborated with DS to make Buckeyes!! It's amazing how much better I feel about my home when I can look around and see clean and empty surfaces, not piles of "stuff." I like walking into my living room again, and my stress level is immensely decreased when my home has some sort of order. Now if only DD will tackle that pile of recycling she needs to take out..... :-) I think I will pencil in my own "Tackle A Pile Day" each week. Whether it's clutter or files that need cleaned out or that closet that needs purged, I will look forward to the sense of accomplishment and organization that will come when finished. Want to join me?
