[quote=Anonymous]Wanting to do something about this is half the battle! Just jump in and do something. Start small -- really small. Pick a pile. Or a drawer. You sound like you have limited mobility with your knee, so pull up a chair and tackle one small area. I like to take before and after pictures to help me appreciate that I've really accomplished something. Do one place per day, maybe two small places. Don't get a burst of energy and tear apart a whole room, only to peter out mid-project. That will make you more discouraged! How does your daughter feel about cleaning things out? If she sees you do it or helps you with your things, maybe she'll feel better about ditching some of her unnecessary stuff. I'm not above incentives here - let's clean up your floor so we have space to play Sorry when we're done! Reward yourself too - time to sit and read a book once you finish your project. Anything that you get out of the apartment is good. More power to you![/quote]
