"Tidiness begets tidiness." When things are tidy, you tend to want to keep them tidy. For this reason, I always make my bed. Or I always refold the throws on the back of the couch. They are just little things that beget more tidiness.
"I don't have time not to be tidy or organized." Seriously, I can't stand rooting through dirty laundry to find the one shirt I need. I am bothered if I have to rip apart a cabinet to find that one elusive ingredient. I get annoyed when I sit down to play dollhouse with my girls and there aren't any dollhouse pieces to be found. I save time by being tidy and organized.
"Steady plodding makes good progress." I look at my cleaning rotation as a way to steadily plod toward good progress in a tidy home. Every day I steadily plod away at a little bit of cleaning. And, steadily I see good progress. Little by little, we get the job done here.
