[quote=Anonymous]I'm a huge procrastinator when it comes to daily tidiness and it can quickly lead to a messy home.  For example, I can easily walk by an empty beverage can on the counter and say to myself, oh I will put that in the recycling later.   And keep doing that until there are 10 empty cans on the counter and I actually have to stop and take time to deal with it.

Then I read something that really helped me to re-wire my brain.  Basically anything I notice that needs to be done and  I want to put off, I have to ask myself if it can be done in less than a minute.  If the answer is yes, I just have to do it.  I just put that single plate in the dishwasher instead of thinking about doing it 5 times a day until there is a sink-full of dishes to worry about.  I just put the shoes in the closet instead of continuously walking by them until there are 10 pairs of shoes at the foot of the stairs.

It has really helped me keep things in check and actually need less of those big chunks of time to tidy everything. But it doesn't come naturally to me and I have to work at it. [/quote]
