I know once I started out with boxes....papers, clothes things like that. Then one at a time I went through each box.

I worked on papers first since that included bills as well as magazines, junk mail. Then it was pay, file or throw out.
Have to admit I didn't always work on the "need to do now" box.

My dirty dishes seem to stack up in a hurry and I can't remember eating all that food.

I was told to do just one thing each day...then you can enjoy the feeling of accomplishment.

Good luck
