I have one small file box, and even though it's not perfectly organized I do manage to get all my important papers in there, and I have one milk crate and all my semi-important papers go there. I've loved reading these post, it is nice to know I'm not crazy or lazy like the title to that book I just discovered. I wish this was a more busy area with ongoing conversations.
I'm on chapter 3 of ADD Friendly ways to organize your life, and I think the kitchen timer will work for me. Pick a room set the timer to 10 minutes and when it goes off see if you are still in the room LOL!!!!
Keep us posted on your progress.
