Thanks, Charlie, but I have read ALL the organizer/cleaning things around. (FlyLady, etc.) I completely cleaned and organized my old apartment years ago using those methods, but it is beyond that at this point (for me, anyway) without help. I get started and then I can't seem to continue and the effort in starting creates new messes and it just seems to get worse.
I think stuff like that will help once I get the basics done, but it's getting to that point that is hanging me up.
