Thank you thank you thank you bernardandmissbianca for starting the new thread. I'm not sure what I will do first tomorrow but it will definitely be something. Part of my struggle is often balancing keeping up with the day to day stuff in addition to getting to some of the existing clutter.
I struggle with the same thing. The 3 main things I have to focus on daily are dishes, laundry and paper. The stacks of papers that have been there will still be there next week, just don't add to them. Find a system to process mail and school papers as soon as you walk in the door.
Papers: Each of my kids has a tote with their color files, one for each school year and personal papers. As soon as papers come into the house from their back packs, that goes into a box next to the mail bin. As I sort the papers some goes right to recycling and some go into the box. The box gets filed every Friday into their totes.
Mail: Same thing. I file it as soon as it comes into the house. Junk mail goes right into recycling. Bills go into my bill book, credit card applications go right into shred pile.
Dishes: I make myself either do them every night before bed or after I take the kids to school. I like to do them at night because I can run the dishwasher after the kids go to bed and before I get in bed. It runs while I prep for bed and read.
Laundry: I started with one hamper but that became Mount Washmore very quickly. So I switched to 3 smaller hampers - whites, lights, and darks. Sadly it takes up more space in my room (house is small and no good place for hampers) but with 6 people in the house and 5 of us are runners, I have at least one load of laundry every day. I just cycle them out as much as I can.
The rest of the days are upstairs on Mondays and Tuesdays. Downstairs on Wednesdays and Fridays and Thursday is my day to have breakfast with friends and craft, etc.
Maybe I'll make enough to send us to Disney this year....
