The most annoying clutter of all are the "Mental Dust Bunnie's"! The one's who like to hide behind your ears and keep you from listening, or the one's who like to hid in the front of your brain and keep you from using it like intended? Have to say lately mental housekeeping has been much easier when I fill my brain with laughing bunnies, and positive bunnies! but on a more clear note to your intended discussion~I would have to say paperwork is the biggest obstacle around here?
Normally I'm a fairly orderly person, but due to a work injury & recent surgery, my life seems to nothing but clutter lately! Before the accident, I was getting things ready for a yard sale this spring - I have boxes stacked in my basement, along with clothing hanging on a rack, and that's just the start of it! Then there's the paper work involved with my injury! Since it happened at work, I'm on Work. Comp., plus Social Security & Medicare! Everyday I get paperwork from one of these agencies, not to mention the paper work from the lawyers! I don't know where to go with it anymore! And then there's the mental & emotional clutter that comes with being unemployed at a time when jobs are so hard to come by, and I'm not getting any younger! Yep - I have clutter! But I take it one day at a time!
