Annoying? Yes. But dammit!

When you really don't feel like doing housework, or something, these old maxims can indeed change your attitude to help you get the job done.

• A place for everything, and everything in its place
• A stitch in time saves nine
• And ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
• Make hay while the sun shines
• Well begun is half done
• Work hard. Play harder.
• Just keep swimming
