i am in this same situation

i've started using an app called "unfuck your habitat" they also have a website. it breaks your tasks down into 20 minute intervals with a 10 minute break between each one. and it has little challenges

it's helped me tackle some of the clutter here

unfuckyourhabitat

I follow them on tumblr. very helpful. I'm at the stage now where I should have a "grown up" house. I guess I need to decorate.

oohh i know nothing about grown up house lol we decorate with action figures and movie posters

lol!!! well, as it is I'm thinking of bean bags and tapestries. I've got to find an inexpensive alternative to Pier 1.
