It's going. I decided to start really small - making my bed every morning, and making sure the sink is empty of dishes every night. I've been doing well with those, but haven't added more to it yet. Hopefully I'll start actually organizing this week. I'm planning to add the rest of the "daily" stuff from Motivated Moms as well.

I think I need to work on giving myself permission to work on organization projects in pieces, instead of feeling like I HAVE to do one room start to finish in a day. (Of course, with that mindset...I never actually start said projects.) I like the idea of the 52 week organization thing - really seems like it breaks things down into manageable chunks.
