Yes, it does sound like fly lady.. because Fly lady works for so many people. me, I'm not a shiny sink person. Not at all. But, I do like having things neat. I've been on a few organizing groups for the past 4 or 5 years and have picked up lots of good advice. One is, as soon as you are done with an item, put it back were it belongs.. even if your not done with your project. Of course, that means you have to know where it belongs in the first place as well.

You have to learn in small steps to make keeping organized a habit and not something you do off and on.. (mostly off)
