Glad you like it. It can indeed be very stressful to share your space with others...and even more stressful for it to be others who are disorganized. On my desk, I have a note posted to help me with the volume of reading material that comes my way...blogs, emails, books, magazines, websites and on and on. It is "Not everything is worth knowing or saving." What you pay for the saving is your time. Things fill up your space and take up your time. Life is precious and I hate to waste mine on stuff. Your mother and your son have different issues. You need different plans to help you organize your house and deal with their things and needs. One of the great ways to get help in creating an organizing plan is to work with my team of professional organizers. I have some great experts at my company, www.organizerightnow.com, and they help people just like you via phone and email. You get one-on-one organizing advice and a plan of action geared to your family's special situation. I've sent you some info. One of the best things you can do for your son is to be a role model. Make good decisions about what you keep and what you let go of. Have a dialog about things. Everyday gives an opportunity to reinforce the "too much stuff" lesson as say to him "pitch out that junk mail as we don't need it." Or, "Can you gather up the old newspapers and magazines and put them out." Or, "Help me take these clothes we don't need to the homeless shelter." Keep up the dialog. Explain why you need or don't need things. Best wishes! Thanks for the feedback! Glad you like it.

I have a question... My mother (who suffers from massive anxiety disorders) lives with us. She can NOT seem to part with books - her bedroom is positively lined with them. Now my 14 year old is starting to do the same, and when I say "why don't we give this one away" he says, but I like that one. ACK!!! BARF!!!!! BLURG!!!! STRESSSSSS!!!! My tiny townhouse is become a dusty library!!! www.seasofsilver.wordpress.com bluseaglass@yahoo.com FANTASTIC blog… I have a question… My mother (who suffers from massive anxiety disorders) lives with us.
