As I mentioned 2 days ago, I am a self-help guru! I love reading self-help books, reading blogs about productivity, and getting new ideas for how to do things better. I am sure this makes me a nerd, but I am okay with it. I love learning from other people and getting their ideas.
Here are some of my favorite productivity resources: Getting things Done by David Allen, simplemom.net, motivatedmoms.com
So, I am hear to ask the rest of you. What is your trick? What do you feel you do really well as a "home manager?" Whether you stay at home or you work away from home, you are all managing your homes. I would love to hear your secrets. Don't be shy. Now is the time to brag. Bring it on...
I will start...
I am really good at getting my laundry done because of Monday Laundry Day. :-) It is a solution I came up with about 6 years ago and I have never turned back. I do all the laundry from start to finish on Mondays and that allows me to not think about laundry the rest of the week. (Except spit up, accidents, etc...)
Merry Christmas Adam!

I also take pride in my once a week laundry day, which I have to give you total credit for. It really has made life a lot simpler. The other thing I feel I'm good at is dealing with mail as soon as it comes in-recycle, bill box, shred,garbage, filing cabinet etc. Other than that I'm a work in progress.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks Molly! I love your mail idea. Paper piles up too quickly at my house. :-)
There's some lady called the Fly Lady, I think, and one of her ideas is that if you do a household task and time it, you'll know what to do if you only have 5 minutes. So instead of saying "I only have 5 minutes, I'll just check email" you can say "I have 5 minutes, that's enough time to unload the dishwasher." It's helped me keep up on the little stuff.
