[quote=Anonymous]For getting rid of stuff, one helpful way to look at it is, instead of approaching each item asking "Am I ready to get rid of this?" ask "Is this item serving a specific purposes in my life?" The different approach changes what the default is -- on the first question, your default will tend to be to keep it unless you can articulate a specific reason to get rid of it. With the second question, the default is to get rid of it unless you can articulate a specific reason to keep it. For maintenance, the key is to find a way of maintaining the works for you. For some people, that is cleaning as they go. I try to do this, but I lose track of it easily when I have a bunch of things going on at once (I have ADHD as well). So as a back-up to that, I also take about 20 minutes at the end of the day that is just for maintenance -- I go room by room and put anything left out back in its proper place. [/quote]
