Anyhow I'm trying my best to conquer this! Hopefully this year I will have a tidy house, or at least semi-tidy. I have some great support on various fora all helping me on my way.
One major problem I have, and I know others also have this problem, is that it's far too easy to start something then notice all the mess, get despondent and just give up. I keep forgetting that this place didn't get messy overnight and one day isn't enough to clear it all (especially with life getting in the way!). So babysteps...babysteps will get me to where I want to be. One small step at a time, but remembering that once something is tidy it has to stay tidy. It's all too easy to clear an area and just let it slide back into chaos again.
Today I have cleared a worktop, not a huge thing but it was filled with stuff. Various toys, tools, jars and other flotsam and jetsam which had just been placed there and forgotten about. I tend to find a lot of "bits" just stuck on the side to deal with later and then left there. So I plan to keep that area tidy and whoever just dumps stuff onto it and wanders off and leaves it had better beware.
That is one of my babysteps and I am going to enjoy looking at it and to become inspired to have the wonderful tidy and serene home I dream of.
