My House Is A Mess!

What do you do when you feel like your house is a mess and you don't know where to start??  Don't panic.

I read somewhere that the best way to eat an elephant is "one bite at a time!"  Instead of being overwhelmed with everything that you think needs to be done, just focus on ONE small task at a time!

My focus this week was my windowsills.  After a long winter, I was thrilled to open my windows to get some fresh air in the house.  This is what greeted me!


Even though there is a long list of chores I need to do around the house, I focused on ONE thing.  I got a rag and some cleaner and wiped my windowsills.  It only took 5 minutes.  I can clean windows and mini-blinds and ...another day ...one "elephant bite at a time."

How do you handle big tasks?  Any words of advice?  I'd love to hear them!
