I like the image.
> One of the secrets for me is a) getting someone else to help. If you ask a friend/spouse, to help and schedule a time, you'll be more committed to getting something done. Another secret is to cut it into small pieces
Yes, I know. But I'm kind of embarrassed to let anyone see the mess.

Thanks. Good metaphor.

Sounds beautiful!
>>I'm guessing 1 out of 100 pieces of paper are valuable.
I know! I have had bags of unopened mail that in the end just get thrown out. If you wait long enough, almost everything becomes irrelevant.

LOL!! that sounds like me.

Thanks. Good advice.
> Again, thanks so much.
Glad I could help--wasn't much effort on my part. It is amazing to learn something I said had such an effect on you.
Thanks for your kind and supportive words, Coral. Hopefully I will eventually get into gear.
BTW, I admire your ability to work from home. I could not work at home--I have such a hard time structuring myself.
