Hopalong:
Thanks for sharing that glimpse Helen.
I like the notion of papers returning to pulp...
I wonder if it would help me to ritualize decluttering a little.
Make it like toothbrushing.

It feels like the faster I shred the junk mail, the faster it pours into my mailbox! :shock:

I know one clutterbug. This person collects good quality decorative objects. On entering this person's home, you get the sense that there are at least a thousand unfinished projects, most built on a theme of some kind like say chalk figurines or blue pottery. Therefore, the beauty of the collected objects gets lost in their having become plain old clutter. In talking with this person, I get a very strong sense of resistance to acknowledging the seriousness of the situlation. Also, a clear attitude from the person which says don't visit my home if you don't like what you see. I happened to have known the great aunt (in her late life), who was not known to the person I'm talking about here. The great aunt's home was so full of clutter that there were only 'rat trails' from room to room. Based on this observation, I'm inclined to believe that there is a genetic bent present in the clutter thing. Also, observation tells me that ADHD and/or OC may be a layer of the cluttering behavioral onion. In the situation I'm talking about, the person also has several cats. The house seems to belong to the cats more than the person. Don't know how this all plays together. I'm jsut thinking out loud.

genetic? In that case my home should be an absolute pigsty - but it's not. 8)
