I thought was rather good

This is so true for me! Was just venting to my husband this week about the state of our house and how it impacts my emotions and day.

Thank you so much for posting that, it is extremely helpful! I am a list-maker (I even write down tasks I've completed that weren't on the list, just so I have the satisfaction of crossing them off, lol), but there are certainly some more tips that I could begin to implement. I never made the connection between being organized in the rest of my life and losing weight. One tip I might add is that I always try to make sure those last-minute dishes are done & the kitchen is clean, so I don't walk into a messy kitchen in the morning and start my day already feeling overwhelmed.
