1. The Paper Trap

Tax time is 'Tums' time. Just the thought of getting everything together makes my stomach churn.

I'm afraid to file important papers because I fear I'll never find them again. But with everything "important" on my desk, I can't find anything.
We've got magazines, newspapers, and catalogs on the dining room table, on the coffee table, and on our night stands. Even if I wanted to read one, I'd never find it.

The clutter on my desk is compounding daily. I don't know where to start!
I'm getting too many second notices (and nasty phone calls) because I just can't find my bills.

My household clutter seems to double daily. I just keep tripping over more stuff.
I'm tired of being bombarded by an avalanche of clothes and hangers every time I open the closet door.
The rooms in my home don't work; there's too much space where I don't need it, too little space where I want it and I don't know how to make the most of the space I do have.
I've even tried bribing my kids to get them to pitch in with household chores. I'm afraid it's a lost cause.
My kids have such a hard time finding anything in their rooms that getting them out on time in the morning is next to impossible.
By the end of the day, I swear I've jogged a mile in my kitchen. I'd rather do that in the park. I'd give anything to have an organized, user-friendly kitchen.
I hate laundry.I hate cleaning. I hate chores. I've got to find ways to streamline these "must do's".
