I started reading the "Magic of Tidy" book but that is a bit extreme. Will certainly enjoy your series.

She has not yet done the work of assigning homes to the things she has left. We never ever know where to look for anything. She has a hard time clearing up an area because she has no idea where to take the things that don't belong. In fact, we're not sure whether certain things belong where they are or not. (I'm thinking especially of her kitchen table where she spends most of her day.) It is extremely frustrating to try and do anything at her house. Things MUST have home--or it is ALL clutter.

It's the second part I struggle with--especially when I'm bugged by the clutter (made by others) and want to do things like just throw their crap down the stairs. :-)<br /><br />I think the having a place might even be more important than getting rid of. Not sure, but maybe.<br />Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13551793959655853424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-33804574410303081602015-10-01T11:46:00.257-06:002015-10-01T11:46:00.257-06:00Thanks, Linda!

I'll be checking back often this month, for progress reports and motivation. You can do this! <br />The accountability aspect of your series is a terrific idea. It'll be a help to so many.
