Hey TexasChic, i knew we were born of the same make! I'm a horder as well. However, regarding the papers that i have- i consider it to be well organized and business like. I have a filing cabinet for my bills, incoming/outgoing the whole schpeal. AND i keep my papers for 5-7 years. Infact just this last weekend i shreded some insurance monthly statements from 1998. I was quite proud of that. ;^)
Anyway, it's the other items that can bring a person down sometimes...all that dang clutter. So i do understand your frustration.
Just take it one piece, one section, one room one area whatever at a time. In fact sometimes i've heard that setting a time frame works for some people. rather than saying i'll clean up the spare bedroom you say i'll spend 1/2 hour in this room, either cleaning or organizing and this way you don't look at what you didn't get done you look at the accomplishment of actually spending the full 1/2 hour working on that room/area.Whatever works right?
later
