Dan Hartung, were you thinking of the “Squalor Survivors” website?
I originally came to 43F via http://www.organizedhome.com. (Flylady’s too purple for me.) If you are heading over to OH.com, don’t stop at the article and forms on the website — the real treasure there is the set of big, 24-7-activity message boards.
My version of “fill your hands” is setting a timer and seeing how many displaced things I can put back in their proper homes in the ten minutes or whatever before the timer goes off. It usually makes a huge difference around the house. At work, well… I am still looking for the procrastination-killer. GTD helps, timed dashes help, pagecount dashes help, but at many tasks I still feel like a slug.
