So LJ, have you got everything organized?

Ummm....nottttt yet! I'm inspired though and that ain't all bad! Bring in the dumpster because by the end of the year, I expect this place to be a whole lot lighter!! Now I need to convince hubby to do the same

If you make it sound like HIS idea, he'll probably do it! LOL!

Really there isn't a problem because he wants to as badly as I do but it's getting him into that mode to really start something. Right now the poor guy is so busy detailing all his bosses cars and doing some landscaping, plus working a day job. Half the problem for me is so little time to really accomplish. I've used the link you gave me, JJ (thank you!). One suggestion is just a few minutes at a time, i.e. 20 minutes....do something, accomplish something, anything that clears a corner or space and divide into boxes.

LJ, we've taled about this here before. I took the idea nf one drawer, or one closet, or bin at a time. I got my kitchen done that way in a snap. I could so some drawers or cabinets in 10 minutes and others it took about an hour to go through and sort.

The other suggestion about making piles also works. That's how we did Mom and Dad's house before they sold it. We had a pile for trash, Goodwill, and then each child had a pile, and the rest Mom and Dad kept. It worked beautifully. Whenever we went to help Mom and Dad, we'e take out the trash, take a bag to Goodwill, and end up bringing some of our very old stuff home with us. But it sure cleaned out their house and made me get my act together at my home so I wuoldn't accumulate things either.

What is bothering you the most? Is it the kitchen, a closet, certain drawers? Start with one little project and attack it. You might be surprised how little time it actually takes.

Now get started. You didn't know you just hired a bunch or get organized coaches, did you?
