Tip of the Day!
When you are working on your housecleaning, turn on fast music, either your stereo or your iPod. The livlier the music, the quicker you will work. Also, remember the effectiveness of breaking your work into "miracle minutes," 5-10 and 15 minute blocks of time. Use a timer to keep on track. It is truly amazing what you can accomplish in just a few minutes!

If you would like to share the newsletter with a friend, neighbor, co-worker or extended family member, simply email me with their name and email address. I will be happy to send a sample for them to enjoy! My email is: sheri@emiliebarnes.com.
