[quote=Anonymous]I have recommended this blog before, and it's not for everybody (profanity, etc), but unfuckyourhabitat.tumbler.com is a fantastic resource for learning to deal with clutter in your home and life.

basically, the premise is that you pick a project (example: dining room table clutter) and deal with it in a series of "20/10s" - set a timer for 20 minutes, clean for that long, take a break for 10. repeat until done. the emphasis is on just DOING something rather than building it all up in your head (which, OP, you seem to be doing, based upon your multiple posts). don't worry about ALL the things you need to do - pick the one that is most visible (flat surfaces, countertops, living areas...) or most dire (i.e., you can't cook or clean because your sink is overflowing, or whatever). you'll see that it's NOT such an insurmountable problem, and it WILL take time, but you don't need to go into a home-organizing, deep-cleaning marathon.

20 minutes a day. see if you can get your family onboard too and it's even more. I'd even suggest taking before-and-after pictures. so you feel like you spent a whole day & all you've done is organized a bookshelf? look at the "before" picture and you'll realize how far you've really come.
