Oh my, this is so... well true? I mean, I struggle with this on a daily basis. I get frustrated by the clutter, then I try to clean, and like most of my family, I place it in the drawer saying to myself "I will use this sometime, I am sure", just to end up moving it to another drawer and not to throw it away. But the desire to clean out, to get the work surface to be this clean... I yearn every day. What troubles me more is the digital clutter on my laptop and in my backup systems. The amount of photographs I keep just not to throw them out is sickening and keeps me up at nights. Either way, thank you for sharing this, it was a fun read with my own mind trying to declutter itself.

Ha, I think the trick is to get rid of a few things and then you realise the sky doesn't fall in!
That is the way! I need to actually do it. It is funny (and sad) just how much you can accumulate in a short amount of time. And I think that is the actual mental illness.
