[quote=Anonymous]OP - I have been where you are.

No amount of organizing, time, strategies, professional help from organizer, etc will make the difference unless you get medicated for the ADD.  I wasted many years on all of the ideas that everyone has listed with little to no results. Once I started taking medication, I could actually implement the type of strategies listed and get immediate results from them.

Even with medication and behavior modification strategies there are certain things I simply can't do anymore and they include:

* go to clearance sales or any sale and "shop ahead" in general. If If I can't identify an actual need in the near term, then it does not get bought. I finally realized that there will always, always be another clearance sale, discount coupon, etc in the future.

* hold on to things for consignment, ebay, etc. The problem with consignment is that by the time I cleaned out the drawers the consignment period for that type of clothing had passed. If you still feel you must consign, do a consignment sale. It's not an ongoing process that way.  It's a one time a season deal.
