The Amazing Household Wonder Worker?

Habit. Such a small word for such a powerful force. "Habit" seems mild, benign--fussy, even. Yet a habit works like a snowball, perched at the top of a snow-covered mountain. It takes a tiny little effort to push the snowball over the edge, but look out! By the time it reaches the bottom, that little habit has the momentum and effect of an avalanche.

So, too, with the habits we build into our lives. Tiny little changes, unnoticed in themselves, have a momentous effect on our house, our family, our lives.

What's the secret? Momentum. It takes energy and thought to form a good habit, much like it takes energy and intention to push that little snowball over the edge. Once in place, however, a habit gains in strength and effect with each repetition, building all the power of an avalanche behind it. Put a platoon of good habits to work for you, and you'll triumph in the war against chaos and disorganization.

Anatomy of a Habit

Not that habits are mysterious things. We all have a brace of them, for good or bad. Does each day begin with two cups of coffee and the newspaper? Habit! Are you accustomed to fueling weekly grocery shopping trips with a maple bar from the supermarket bakery? Habit! Do you always place your handbag on the floor of the car, behind the driver's seat? There's that habit again!

If habits are familiar creatures, why are they so very difficult to start--or to change? Go back to that snowball. Yes, it's a bit of a nuisance to make it, isn't it? You have to get your hands wet and cold and numb, and pack the snow tightly. You must perch the snowball on it's ledge just so, and then give the silly thing a push. Once you do, though, look out!

The analogy explains why good habits can be so difficult to start, and bad habits so difficult to end. Setting up good habits means creating conscious, intentional change. Ending bad ones means countering the tremendous, built-up force of a thousand repetitions.

It Takes a Habit to Stop a Habit

How do you form a good habit? The concept is simple: decide what you want to do, and do it each day for 21 days.

If the idea is simple, the devil is in the details. Making a new habit is hard work! Each new habit--so simple, so sanguine--must turn aside the formidable energy of an entrenched old habit to survive.

Old habits are not so easily dislodged! In practical terms, fresh new habits must be tended carefully and guarded from intruders. During their infancy and youth, good habits can be extinguished by a single episode of "Maņana, maņana--I don't wanna!" You have to cherish the new, good habit and fight the old bad one at the same time.

CLOSETS

Changing seasons mean changes in the clothes closet. Spark your spring wardrobe with the Web's simplest closet declutter.

In closets, as in life, less is more. Specifically, the venerable 80-20 rule applies: we wear 20% of our clothing 80% of the time, while the remaining 80% represent the freeloaders of the wardrobe clan. Impulse purchases, orphaned blouses, and the one-size-too-small brigade choke rods, hooks and drawers, squeezing the life from the wearer-friendly 20%..

Resolve to pare it down! Does each garment in your closet pull its own weight? Only current-season clothing that both fits and flatters should be assigned that valuable closet real estate.

How do you make the division? Classic organizational thinking involves removing all clothing from the closet, trying on every single item with every other single item, culling the unacceptable, mending the ragged and tattered, and hanging the lucky survivors in descending order according to color. Oh. For good measure, you're supposed to hang new light fixtures and paint the closet, too.

I can hear the confused grumbling now. Kids? A planner?

Wrong! Teachers, parents and homeschool families know that training kids to use plastic bins and making it a habit makes for successful students. School districts throughout the USA use plastic bins for their pupils and integrate their use into the school day.

A student plastic bin is only a tool. How do you teach a child to use one? It's a bit much to expect a 7-year-old to put his toys in a bin or box but teach them time management and put the method to work independently.

At first, children don't appreciate the benefits of plastic bins and boxes. Because they live in the moment, it's hard for kids see picking up after each birthday party, swim club practice and school assignment as more than just another chore. As time goes on, children begin to appreciate the security of having all their toys and stuff in one place, but in the short term, it's up to the adults to motivate them.

Use stickers, stars or smiley faces to reward picking up the toys and placing them in the plastic bins and boxes.
