[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my house is disorganized and full of clutter - something I can get under control with a weekend-long herculean effort, which I put in every so often, but that's unsustainable, and which leaves me drained and spent. [/quote]

I really like the podcast "A Slob Comes Clean." The podcaster, Dana K. White, also has books if you prefer that format. (https://www.aslobcomesclean.com/podcasts/) She makes a point of NOT advising that people pull everything out of a closet and spend four hours organizing, knowing that half the time they'll end up with piles of stuff that never really gets where it needs to get, making things worse, not better. Here's an overview of her decluttering method: https://www.aslobcomesclean.com/2014/04/how-to-declutter-without-making-a-bigger-mess/

Honestly, I feel like anyone could come in and organize your house (like with like, and lots of pretty baskets), but if you have too much stuff, YOU have to be the one to deal with that. So either you can pay an organizer to sit with you and ask thing by thing whether to keep or toss, or you can get started on your own.

Anything can work because the dump the whole closet method (actually whole categories Kondo-style) is the best way for me to do it. [/quote]
