notz two things

1 tell your hubby that it is really upsetting you that he isn't helping and that you would like him to go throw a box every few days while watching tv. That said it didn't work with mine but hey it might with yours.

2 start at the place that most bugs you. When everything gets sideways I start in the front entry. It's a dumping ground that no one causes and no one picks up. I start there and work my way into the dining room and kitchen. The living room I make my son do as it is usually buried by his son's toys.
