Not only was that a great idea, but it sounds like it was even do-able the way you took it on! Clutter is also a never-ending battle for me! It is a very weak point in my life and something that causes me to constantly draw on the Lord.Rebecca Ingram Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16122233191665540237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389312643810792511.post-45864732589443887892010-02-03T10:57:53.443-06:002010-02-03T10:57:53.443-06:00wow.

Unfortunately, it is a ...I agree with you SO much!<br /><br />Unfortunately, it is a never-ending battle for me. For many, many years I was a major pack-rat. I kept everything, "just in case". The CHAOS that created was overwhelming.<br /><br />Clutter-free is a constant battle for me. My son's room was so far out of control that I was just too overwhelmed to touch it. I couldn't expect him to clean it when I didn't even know how to approach it myself. Finally, a few weeks ago, he and I emptied the entire room. I told him to pretend we were moving. We boxed up every single thing. Then we thoroughly cleaned the room and over the next few days we unpacked each box. At that time we decided on each thing whether to put it back in his room, in the attic, in the Goodwill pile or in the trash. We were both very proud of the end result and now he actually enjoys spending time in his room.<br /><br />I have read many times that all children, but especially ADHD children are overwhelmed with too much stuff. (adults too) This was proof.<br /><br />Enjoyed your post today!<br /><br />P.S. Your word verification for me is miessit. VERY close to Messiest! lolMy ADHD Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355981755069167730noreply@blogger.com
