Clutter
and Organizing . . .
(10/18)
One of the
greater problems for many with ADD is
disorganization - often manifested as clutter.
The web has a wealth of information about this as
well.
"Have nothing in your house you do
not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful." -
Henry David Thoreau (or William Morris?)
"...about four-fifths of the contents of nearly
every home could be given away with good effect to that
home. But the things given away might go on to poison some
other home. So why not at once destroy undesireable things
.. make and end of them?"
--Frank Lloyd Wright, "Prairie Architecture", Modern
Architecture, 1931.
"This prying among the personal residue of a
finished life was a part of his job which Dalgliesh had
always found a little distasteful. It was too much like
putting the dead at a disadvantage. During his career he had
examined with interest and with pity so many petty leavings.
The soiled underclothes pushed hurriedly into drawers,
personal letters which prudence would have destroyed,
half-eaten meals, unpaid bills, old photographs, pictures
and books which the dead would not have chosen to represent
their taste to a curious or vulgar world, family secrets,
stale make-up in greasy jars, the muddle of ill-disciplined
or unhappy lives. It was no longer the fashion to dread an
unshriven end but most people, if they thought at all, hoped
for time to clear away their debris. He remembered from
childhood the voice of an old aunt exhorting him to change
his vest.(singlet) `Suppose you got run over, Adam. What
would people think?' The question was less absurd than it
had seemed to a ten-year-old. Time had taught him that it
expressed one of the major preoccupations of mankind, the
dread of losing face."
-- P.D. James - A Mind to Murder
- 1-2-3
Sort-It - the name sort of says it all.
The articles on desk
clearing and kitchen
organizing are remarkable for their
length, thoroughness, and humor.

$19.95 if you keep it. HomeWise is a novel multipurpose database
designed to be a family and home organizer. Using the metaphor of
a home, where individual functions are listed by room, virtually
everything from to-do lists and book inventories to personal
calendars and clothing sizes can be listed. The kitchen contains a
recipe box, party and meal planners, and similar lists. Family
members can keep individual lists in their bedrooms. A family area
allows access to phone lists, a family calendar, 911 emergency
numbers, medical data, house plant information, and other communal
information. The program is well organized and easy to navigate,
and will help you organize things you never even thought of. -
