Clutter happens so easily.....I try to never let it take root, as that’s the only way I can handle it. My place is on the small side, so I have only a certain amount of “stuff”, and nothing is left lying around. A place for everything and everything in its place - if I don’t live by that, I’d be buried alive lol.
Judy that is the way I used to be. Everything was in it’s place. I was doing pretty well into my 70’s. But, taking care of my husband for all those years took a lot out of me and once I started getting short of breath I just couldn’t keep up with it anymore.
It is mostly paper clutter. Here, there, and everywhere. I had started doing ancestry and had it pretty well organized then my oldest daughter started printing out some and giving it to me and there it sits. My son-in-law asked me to save Burger King coupons for him, but he will probably never come to get them so there they sit etc. etc. I started cleaning out file cabinets and I have 3 boxes full to take and be shredded but I still have clutter on the desk trying to decide if I want to keep some things or throw away.
Right now I am having heart burn real bad. I think maybe from the Salsa I ate with my flour tortilla taco. I took a small spoonful of soda but it hasn’t helped.
It is the pits getting old.
I used to have one clutter drawer. Now that I’m older I’ve collected so much I have more than one drawer.
I’m trying to get rid of papers now, again!
