For some reason, an uncluttered and serene environment makes me more productive in my writing. Some may be a holdover from watching dementia take a member of my family. Her overstuffed space physically reflected the disordered state of her psyche. In conjunction with the doctors and caregivers, we found that decluttering and clearly organizing the simple space resulting, made it possible for her struggling brain to deal with her surroundings that much longer. I strongly recommend the Flylady website, books, and system for anyone finding themselves overwhelmed with their belongings. Her "fling boogies" are useful for those of us overwhelmed and unsure of what needs to be kept and what doesn't. Most of us have far more than we truly need. So long as you have the memories, must you really clutter your life with the reminders of the past? Let them go to make room for the future!
