[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yea that’s about right. Plus I’m the only one who actually tries anything. The piles are just invisible to everyone else[/quote]

100% relate.

The only thing that has worked for me is to have zones. My bedroom (connected to but separate from DH’s bedroom, weird design but love it) is a clutter free zone. Ditto my office, and the kitchen.

The kids clothes are neatly organized, and I keep a laundry hamper at the bottom of both kids’ closets for too small clothes to go into. I sort that once a season into donate/toss.

The clutter of what comes home from school (kindergarten) kills me. I bought a binder for it, but still, so much stuff! And remembering to return library books, keeping track of ice skates, dance shoes, goggles, piano lesson books etc things that go back and forth is annoying. We keep each kids’ thing for each activity in a small drawstring bag in a closet by the door, or at least try to. Things always go rogue.

I try to keep toys in rotation, but that’s tiring.

Basically, I pick my battles bc no one else is bothered by this. So I have my clutter free zones, try to get old clothes, unused toys and old school work out of the house quarterly and hope for the best.[/quote]
