I've never been a neat person at home. Organized, yes, I am that. I'm organized in the cupboards, closets, and drawers. But there's never enough space for the things that are NOT inside these organized things. It's kinda funny, actually -- the comparison between my ex-sister and me (I dumped her recently, but not for this reason). Her house is a model home to view when you go in there. But inside the closets, drawers, etc, it's disorganized. When she was young I visited her. In the apartment she'd have things in the kitchen cupboard from rubber bands and single (out of box) light bulbs, to boxed cereals and canned foods, to things like gift wrap papers -- stuff unrelated to other stuff in there -- not neatly stacked. In her hold age her kitchen is very well organized. But other rooms in the house are a mess. Oh, well to her, but my problem which I wonder if anyone else has, is that little pieces of paper, items I need to take back to the store, users manuals for new stuff....all over the living room. The bedroom,kitchen, and bath are fine, but obviously the LR is where I live and it's driving me wacko. Anyone else this way? What do you do? I can't make a decision on one piece of paper in a disorganized pile, OR I find a piece of paper that it interesting and, say if it's an article, I read the whole thimg. Maybe write a letter to editor about it. Or maybe it's something about the music I play, and I need to type out a whole chord chart for it. Meanwhile, the piles grow taller. I bought a stack of 5 horizontal file racks. That has helped. My music "tools" like metronome, tuner, rubber stamps...are on top. That's good because now they are not buried in a pile. One of the shelves is for music related papers. So now I can find what I need. The others are "Do: Action Needed." "Miscellaneous;" and "File." Those papers stay in there and never get out of the slot. So the desk is a mess and causes stress. The walls are fine to look at in my LR. Nice pictures, original art by people I know, and also some of mine. Below the pictures, the room is chaotic and I can't rest my eyes anywhere. I get zingy wherever my eyes go to.
