Dear Tim: I am a slob! How do I keep my space organized and clean so that I don't get overwhelmed?
--Mistress of Mess
Dear Ms. Mess: The best thing you can do is create a chore chart and check it every day to remind yourself what need to be done. Instead of trying to clean everything all at once, give yourself a task every day so that you can stay on top of it all. Buy some storage containers and make sure everything is in its place. Don't forget to label! This will make it easier to put things away and keep everything clean. Best of luck tackling your mountain of mess!
