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...)
Lunch, Please

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.
