Clutter-Help!

I agree with the other gals about Flylady.com. What I've learned is that it's all about routines (which is what Flylady helps you with). It's about having a system that is easy & consistent (for mail & that kind of stuff). It also helps a ton to have buy in from the rest of the family to learn to help clean up their own stuff. I know your husband isn't there a lot - & that's a bummer - but the up side is that he isn't there to make more clutter :)

join FlyLady.net. She helps develop a routine that will work for you. She teaches strategies and sends daily reminders of what you need to do each day. It's broken down into "Flying" lessons. It's really helped me a lot.

Try Flylady.net. She has a simple step by step "system" with baby steps, to break things down.

My friend Evelin has an organizing business! She is amazing:)

One small help for me is - when I get the mail I sort through it by the outside garbage can and throw away the "junk" before it even comes into the house! Bills I immediately pay - not wait until the thing is due - with my online bill pay. I check to see if there is a change, schedule the payment, then trow away the bill - my bank keeps a record of paid bills, I don't have the clutter.
Also, remeber baby steps. One thing at a time.
