Whether you’re a new follower or you’ve been around for years, the basics are how things get done and stay done in your home. Focusing on the basics will get you started de-disasterizing your home and are the thing to go back to when you start to feel things stall or fall back into disaster. Today, I’m going over the basics: what they are and why’re they’re SO important.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. It’s always interesting to hear different viewpoints.
I just found hour website from an email that Jennifer Maker sent out all about organizing. I laughed really hard because my brain is much like your brain! I have ADHD and tried the methods of “pile for donate, pile for trash, like to keep and pile to go through later,” but everything either ended up in the trash or in the “pile to go through later” and well, the pile is huge. I avoid going into my office bc the clutter overwhelms me and I have had no idea where to start. I mean I have my nursing school books from over 20 years ago in there, so you think that I have once pulled one out in over 20 years? Nope. I can’t find anyone who accepts donated textbooks this old, so they’ll have to be recycled. I sit at my desk and there’s just stuff everywhere on the top and behind me and to my right and to my left. I know I’m supposed to start with one small area and go from there, but I lack motivation. Procrastination station should be the name of my office. My husband hung up peg boards for me a few years ago, right after I got my cricut, which is a huge help, but now since I have a cricut I have piles of vinyl, scraps of transfer paper, labels I made “ahead of time” and fancy paper all over the place. My previous scrapbook hoarding issue became a much larger vinyl hoarding problem since I got my cricut. I bought infusible ink markers that I have no idea how to use, I bought HTV when Joanne’s was going out of business, but I have never made anything with HTV bc I’m scared I’ll mess it up. Sigh. So I understand your brain and wanted to thank you for your hilarious posts. I am not like “normal” people lol. I have a bathroom that guests can use, but they’re at risk for tripping over empty Amazon boxes…thanks for the tips! I love the idea of walking the item to it’s home instead of making another pile. I might even start in my office today…
