How do I keep my house Organised???

I'm a single mum working full time, and my daughter is 8. Somehow I manage to get everything done in time, but I always wish I could be more organised so everything is in order. I always end up rushing things at the last minute! I have friends who seem to be able to balance everything, whilst keeping an immaculate home, and seem completely in control?!?...What is the secret?? There have to be some tips out there that can help me from sinking?!!

1. Just do your best and don't worry about the little stuff.
2. some easy tips are to have your daughter pick out five outfits for the week, including panties and socks. Put them in walmart bags and then all she has to do is grab a bag in the morning to get dressed. You can try a running menu as well. Shop for the things to make seven easy meals but don't assign a day to any of them. Then, for example, when you have sloppy joes and french fries, you simply cross that off the list. You'll know at a glance "what for dinner". At one point in my life I was "in charge" of eleven people ranging in age from 37 to 3 months of age, all in my family. I kept every thing running smoothly and I was told I was the most organized person people knew.
3. I am guessing you have the same problem as I do. Just too much junk in the house, and nowhere to put everything. Lose the clutter, then keeping your house clean and organized will be much easier.
4. Woah..... calm down. Do you friends have a child? One is a arm full, my mother has 4. Be easy on yourself. Your place will reflect you radiance when you get the following done: kid stays organised, bathroom is cleaned and you have purged the house.<( super hard task of evil! ) When you purge an entire house sucessfully, you find yourself getting rid of eyesore clutter, and in a mean time clean all of those forgotten-but smelled of seen places. You will wonder if you are in the same place. Just remember that when you start, you do not stop. A purge is non-stop, or else the pile mysteriously works it's way back to you. A place also looks a lot cleaner when the edges of a room are well done. This means clean walls, ceilings and forgotten most often-baseboards. I am still recovering from a purge with my three sisters. Make sure you are in a state to finish because trust me, it is a lot harder than it sounds.
