Subject: RE: BS: Downshifting
The mind boggles!
I can only imagine such a set-up, but it must be expensive if you keep having to buy things because you can't find one you've already got under the mess! I think I would probably go made in such a household.
I have 18 screwdrivers and I know exactly in what toolbox and in what drawer in the workshop I can find them, and if one is missing I will want to know why.
The simplest maxim to aid decluttering is one my mother-in-law was fond of quoting - 'Don't put it down; put it away.'
Admin is important, and just five minutes a day can change your life. Clutter and mess provokes frustration and depression, so five minutes' daily admin can actually make you feel better.
