What MuseumGhost said: I have to empty my mind and just do it. I can't get distracted by thinking about which I do first or when I will do what - I just have to see something that needs doing and start doing it.

I get so frustrated with myself over this. I clean and a day later, it's a disaster area again. Looking at my dining room right now, I have three pairs of shoes under the (very small, two person) dining room table, an extension cable from the AC on the floor, messy blankets and pillows on the couch, a small pile of art postcards, magazines and local newspapers, a fair program, a plastic bag and plate on my radiator, a huge catnip branch from the garden I need to dry, OFF!, keys, glasses on the table and a pile of canning supplies behind me (pot, jars, rings, etc), and an unhung picture.

I read somewhere about different types of clutter -- most of mine is aspirational. The canning stuff is out because I have been canning this month. I need to 'get to' the magazine, program, catnip. I need to mat and frame the postcards, hang the picture I framed last week. Write down the names of the presenters I met during the fair program so I can ask them questions when I get around to starting the projects they were talking about, etc.

And what am I doing today? Picking nuts at a friend's house, which will give me something else I need to deal with.

I wonder if there is a word for people who hoard projects? Is that a thing?
