[quote=Anonymous]Ugh. Just looking for some commiseration. I grew up in a messy house and I feel like I have been trying my whole life to do better. In my twenties, I had no skills and my first place became a cluttered mess. I managed to build a lot of skills. I did Marie Kondo, I did all those sorts of things. I watched Clean House and Hoarders, lol.

I really had it together for about ten years.

Now after struggling with young kids, it’s out of control again. Every room has like 50 things “out” and there’s no where to put them because the places they should go are also full/nonfunctional.

I feel overwhelmed by it because I don’t know how I could possibly find the time/energy for Marie Kondo piles. I end up just putting things in containers to get through immediate needs for cleaning or whatever.

But like, our clean wool things have been sitting in a laundry basket for a month because I don’t know what to do with them. I don’t even remember if I had off season storage for them when the house was tidy or if everything just fit all year round.

I know I need to get rid of like 20% of everything in order to have a chance at having a home for stuff. I just don’t know how to tackle this. I end up just picking a bunch of things up and then putting them down.

I know I just need to kick myself in the butt and get it done somehow. I just keep failing and feeling worse about it all/myself.
