Any suggestions on getting organized? My biggest thing is keeping bills organized, kitchen clean, and laundry...

As far as organizing bills, do you mean filing them or paying them? I try to pay my bills as soon as they come in so I don't forget. I do also have a special drawer just for bills so that if I'm in a hurry, I can safely stash them and refind them again easily. I also keep my stamps and return address labels nearby and always put them back as soon as I use them. Other people I guess use automatic deduction for bills. About the kitchen, I'm no real help there. I hate doing dishes, but I do try to keep the dishwasher going. I even run it when it's not full if the next load won't be able to fit entirely. And I run it daily, usually twice. I try to focus on the dishes. I don't have the desire to do much work truthfully, so my counters are usually crumby and my stove usually has dried on food stuck on it, but I usually have clean dishes! Laundry, I try to do at least 1 load a day. I have a lots of baskets to keep clean clothes in too. I just know that someday I'll have the will power to do things "right" ie always have clean stove and counters, always fold and put clothes away asap, but I don't right now and these are my shortcuts. I also try to fold or semi fold laundry as it comes out of the dryer into a basket. I do not fold skivvies, kitchen wash cloths (which we use for "paper towels") or mate socks.
